Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$11,944. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$2.66 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
24.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 18% tax rate now rises to 24.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make S$143,328 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$25,849. That means that your net pay will be S$117,479 per year, or S$9,790 per month. Your average tax rate is 18.0% 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.

Income tax calculations include personal tax credit deductions. CPF calculations are determined for regular wages only, assuming there are no additional wages.
