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$20,172 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$4,034. That means that your net pay will be S$16,138 per year, or S$1,345 per month. Your average tax rate is 20.0% and your marginal tax rate is 21.9%. 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$21.92, hence, your net pay will only increase by S$78.08.
Bonus Example
A S$1,000 bonus will generate an extra S$781 of net incomes. A S$5,000 bonus will generate an extra S$3,904 of net incomes.
