Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$12,240 to pay you S$233,765. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$2.32 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
22.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 18% tax rate now rises to 22.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make S$233,765 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$42,100. That means that your net pay will be S$191,665 per year, or S$15,972 per month. Your average tax rate is 18.0% and your marginal tax rate is 19.4%. 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$19.40, hence, your net pay will only increase by S$80.60.
