Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22% tax rate now rises to 22.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make S$271,051,440 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$59,619,867. That means that your net pay will be S$211,431,573 per year, or S$17,619,298 per month. Your average tax rate is 22.0% and your marginal tax rate is 22.0%. 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$22, hence, your net pay will only increase by S$78.
