Total tax paid
GH₵ 569,332
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer GH₵ 162,500 to pay you GH₵ 1,250,000. In other words, every time you spend GH₵ 10 of your hard-earned money, GH₵ 4.55 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
40.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 32.5% tax rate now rises to 40.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
