Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$7,058. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$3.60 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.6% tax rate now rises to 31.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make S$84,696 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$18,290. That means that your net pay will be S$66,406 per year, or S$5,534 per month. Your average tax rate is 21.6% 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.
