Worked example
A single worker without children earning the average wage of 219,608 MXN pays 11.8% in income tax and 1.4% in employee social security contributions, plus 1.1% in mandatory mandatory retirement savings and housing fund that the OECD counts separately, keeping 188,205 MXN a year (15,684 MXN a month). At 167% of the average wage the combined rate is 17.1%.
A one-earner married couple with two children at the average wage keeps 190,675 MXN after taxes and cash family benefits (before mandatory non-tax payments), according to the same OECD model.
The full tax wedge (all taxes as a share of labour cost) at the average wage is 21.7%, ranked #35 of 38; the OECD average is 35.1%.
