Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$6,248. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$3.95 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
34.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.2% tax rate now rises to 34.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make S$74,976 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$17,396. That means that your net pay will be S$57,580 per year, or S$4,798 per month. Your average tax rate is 23.2% and your marginal tax rate is 9.0%. 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$8.96, hence, your net pay will only increase by S$91.04.
Bonus Example
A S$1,000 bonus will generate an extra S$910 of net incomes. A S$5,000 bonus will generate an extra S$4,552 of net incomes.
