Total tax paid
GH₵ 7,850
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer GH₵ 3,302 to pay you GH₵ 25,397. In other words, every time you spend GH₵ 10 of your hard-earned money, GH₵ 3.09 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
27.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17.9% tax rate now rises to 27.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
