Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$867 to pay you S$5,101. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$4.03 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
34.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.3% tax rate now rises to 34.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make S$61,212 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$14,276. That means that your net pay will be S$46,936 per year, or S$3,911 per month. Your average tax rate is 23.3% 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.
