Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer GH₵ 138,450 to pay you GH₵ 1,065,000. In other words, every time you spend GH₵ 10 of your hard-earned money, GH₵ 4.67 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
41.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 33.7% tax rate now rises to 41.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make GH₵ 12,780,000 a year living in Ghana, you will be taxed GH₵ 4,309,737. That means that your net pay will be GH₵ 8,470,263 per year, or GH₵ 705,855 per month. Your average tax rate is 33.7% and your marginal tax rate is 33.9%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of GH₵ 100 in your salary will be taxed GH₵ 33.85, hence, your net pay will only increase by GH₵ 66.15.
Bonus Example
A GH₵ 1,000 bonus will generate an extra GH₵ 662 of net incomes. A GH₵ 5,000 bonus will generate an extra GH₵ 3,308 of net incomes.
