Real tax rate
14.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 0% tax rate now rises to 14.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 14.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make S$2,280 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed 0. That means that your net pay will be S$2,280 per year, or S$190 per month. Your average tax rate is 0.0% and your marginal tax rate is 0.0%. 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$0, hence, your net pay will only increase by S$100.
