Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$6,978. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$3.63 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.7% tax rate now rises to 31.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make S$83,736 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$18,180. That means that your net pay will be S$65,556 per year, or S$5,463 per month. Your average tax rate is 21.7% and your marginal tax rate is 11.5%. 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$11.50, hence, your net pay will only increase by S$88.50.
Bonus Example
A S$1,000 bonus will generate an extra S$885 of net incomes. A S$5,000 bonus will generate an extra S$4,425 of net incomes.
