Total tax paid
GH₵ 272
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer GH₵ 134 to pay you GH₵ 1,027. In other words, every time you spend GH₵ 10 of your hard-earned money, GH₵ 2.65 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
23.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 13.5% tax rate now rises to 23.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10% higher than what it seemed at first.
