Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$10,872. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$2.77 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
25.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 18.3% tax rate now rises to 25.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make S$130,464 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$23,920. That means that your net pay will be S$106,544 per year, or S$8,879 per month. Your average tax rate is 18.3% and your marginal tax rate is 15.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of S$100 in your salary will be taxed S$15, hence, your net pay will only increase by S$85.
Bonus Example
A S$1,000 bonus will generate an extra S$850 of net incomes. A S$5,000 bonus will generate an extra S$4,250 of net incomes.
