Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₪ 9,007 to pay you ₪ 159,000. In other words, every time you spend ₪ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₪ 2.59 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
24.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20.2% tax rate now rises to 24.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
