Real tax rate
32.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20.6% tax rate now rises to 32.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make S$29,388 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$6,064. That means that your net pay will be S$23,324 per year, or S$1,944 per month. Your average tax rate is 20.6% and your marginal tax rate is 22.2%. 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$22.16, hence, your net pay will only increase by S$77.84.
Bonus Example
A S$1,000 bonus will generate an extra S$778 of net incomes. A S$5,000 bonus will generate an extra S$3,892 of net incomes.
