Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$95.08 to pay you S$556. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$2.30 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
19.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 5.9% tax rate now rises to 19.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make S$6,672 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$395. That means that your net pay will be S$6,277 per year, or S$523 per month. Your average tax rate is 5.9% and your marginal tax rate is 58.8%. 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$58.80, hence, your net pay will only increase by S$41.20.
Bonus Example
