Total tax paid
GH₵ 3,669
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer GH₵ 1,105 to pay you GH₵ 8,500. In other words, every time you spend GH₵ 10 of your hard-earned money, GH₵ 4.32 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
38.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.2% tax rate now rises to 38.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8% higher than what it seemed at first.
