Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$12,240 to pay you S$599,040. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$2.21 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
21.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20.1% tax rate now rises to 21.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make S$599,040 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$120,339. That means that your net pay will be S$478,701 per year, or S$39,892 per month. Your average tax rate is 20.1% 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.
