Total tax paid
GH₵ 3,266
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer GH₵ 1,118 to pay you GH₵ 8,603. In other words, every time you spend GH₵ 10 of your hard-earned money, GH₵ 3.80 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
33.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25% tax rate now rises to 33.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
