GH₵ 1,380
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer GH₵ 837 to pay you GH₵ 6,435. In other words, every time you spend GH₵ 10 of your hard-earned money, GH₵ 2.14 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
19.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 8.4% tax rate now rises to 19.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
