Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$27,629. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$2.23 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
21.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 18.6% tax rate now rises to 21.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make S$331,548 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$61,764. That means that your net pay will be S$269,784 per year, or S$22,482 per month. Your average tax rate is 18.6% and your marginal tax rate is 21.6%. 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$21.60, hence, your net pay will only increase by S$78.40.
Bonus Example
