Total tax paid
50,239 FCFA
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 25,571 FCFA to pay you 157,846 FCFA. In other words, every time you spend 10 FCFA of your hard-earned money, 3.18 FCFA goes to the government.
Real tax rate
27.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 15.6% tax rate now rises to 27.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
