Real tax rate
33.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22.2% tax rate now rises to 33.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make S$46,620 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$10,336. That means that your net pay will be S$36,284 per year, or S$3,024 per month. Your average tax rate is 22.2% and your marginal tax rate is 26.9%. 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$26.92, hence, your net pay will only increase by S$73.08.
Bonus Example
A S$1,000 bonus will generate an extra S$731 of net incomes. A S$5,000 bonus will generate an extra S$3,654 of net incomes.
