Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$15,946. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$2.42 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
22.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17.8% tax rate now rises to 22.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make S$191,352 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$33,993. That means that your net pay will be S$157,359 per year, or S$13,113 per month. Your average tax rate is 17.8% and your marginal tax rate is 18.0%. 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$18, hence, your net pay will only increase by S$82.
Bonus Example
A S$1,000 bonus will generate an extra S$820 of net incomes. A S$5,000 bonus will generate an extra S$4,100 of net incomes.
