Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$17,445. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$2.37 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
22.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17.8% tax rate now rises to 22.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make S$209,340 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$37,362. That means that your net pay will be S$171,978 per year, or S$14,332 per month. Your average tax rate is 17.9% and your marginal tax rate is 19.4%. 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$19.40, hence, your net pay will only increase by S$80.60.
Bonus Example
A S$1,000 bonus will generate an extra S$806 of net incomes. A S$5,000 bonus will generate an extra S$4,030 of net incomes.
