Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$99,699. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$2.21 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
21.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21% tax rate now rises to 21.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make S$1,196,388 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$251,755. That means that your net pay will be S$944,633 per year, or S$78,719 per month. Your average tax rate is 21.0% 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.
Bonus Example
A S$1,000 bonus will generate an extra S$780 of net incomes. A S$5,000 bonus will generate an extra S$3,900 of net incomes.

NOTE* Withholding is calculated based on the tables of Singapore, income tax. For simplification purposes some variables (such as marital status and others) have been assumed. Income tax calculations include personal tax credit deductions. CPF calculations are determined for regular wages only, assuming there are no additional wages.
