Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$265 to pay you S$1,557. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$3.70 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20% tax rate now rises to 31.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make S$18,684 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$3,731. That means that your net pay will be S$14,953 per year, or S$1,246 per month. Your average tax rate is 20.0% and your marginal tax rate is 19.2%. 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$19.20, hence, your net pay will only increase by S$80.80.
Bonus Example
A S$1,000 bonus will generate an extra S$808 of net incomes. A S$5,000 bonus will generate an extra S$4,040 of net incomes.
