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$29,549,410,848 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$6,500,858,937. That means that your net pay will be S$23,048,551,911 per year, or S$1,920,712,659 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.
