Real tax rate
16.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 5.5% tax rate now rises to 16.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make GH₵ 960 a year living in Ghana, you will be taxed GH₵ 52.80. That means that your net pay will be GH₵ 907 per year, or GH₵ 75.60 per month.

For instance, an increase of GH₵ 100 in your salary will be taxed GH₵ 5.50, hence, your net pay will only increase by GH₵ 94.50.
