Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$822 to pay you S$4,835. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$4.01 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
34.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.1% tax rate now rises to 34.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make S$58,020 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$13,412. That means that your net pay will be S$44,608 per year, or S$3,717 per month. Your average tax rate is 23.1% and your marginal tax rate is 27.2%. 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$27.16, hence, your net pay will only increase by S$72.84.
Bonus Example
A S$1,000 bonus will generate an extra S$728 of net incomes. A S$5,000 bonus will generate an extra S$3,642 of net incomes.
