Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$6,048,120. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$2.20 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
22.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22% tax rate now rises to 22.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make S$72,577,440 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$15,955,587. That means that your net pay will be S$56,621,853 per year, or S$4,718,488 per month. Your average tax rate is 22.0% and your marginal tax rate is 22.0%. 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$22, hence, your net pay will only increase by S$78.
