Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$476 to pay you S$2,798. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$3.80 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
32.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21% tax rate now rises to 32.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make S$33,576 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$7,038. That means that your net pay will be S$26,539 per year, or S$2,212 per month. Your average tax rate is 21.0% and your marginal tax rate is 23.4%. 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$23.42, hence, your net pay will only increase by S$76.58.
Bonus Example
