Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$96.88 to pay you S$566. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$2.40 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
20.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 6.9% tax rate now rises to 20.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make S$6,792 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$466. That means that your net pay will be S$6,326 per year, or S$527 per month. Your average tax rate is 6.9% 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
A S$1,000 bonus will generate an extra S$412 of net incomes. A S$5,000 bonus will generate an extra S$2,060 of net incomes.

Income tax calculations include personal tax credit deductions. CPF calculations are determined for regular wages only, assuming there are no additional wages.
