Total tax paid
K 19,998
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer K 5,525 to pay you K 85,000. In other words, every time you spend K 10 of your hard-earned money, K 2.35 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
22.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17% tax rate now rises to 22.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
