Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$18,673. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$2.34 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
22.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17.9% tax rate now rises to 22.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make S$224,076 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$40,221. That means that your net pay will be S$183,855 per year, or S$15,321 per month. Your average tax rate is 18.0% 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.
