Real tax rate
31.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20% tax rate now rises to 31.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make S$19,224 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$3,838. That means that your net pay will be S$15,386 per year, or S$1,282 per month. Your average tax rate is 20.0% and your marginal tax rate is 20.4%. 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$20.40, hence, your net pay will only increase by S$79.60.
