GH₵ 140
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer GH₵ 81.38 to pay you GH₵ 626. In other words, every time you spend GH₵ 10 of your hard-earned money, GH₵ 2.24 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
19.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 9.4% tax rate now rises to 19.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
