Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$12,601. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$2.60 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
24.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17.9% tax rate now rises to 24.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make S$151,212 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$27,032. That means that your net pay will be S$124,180 per year, or S$10,348 per month. Your average tax rate is 17.9% 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.
