Summary
If you make 112,008 원 a year living in South Korea, you will be taxed 11,972 원. That means that your net pay will be 100,036 원 per year, or 8,336 원 per month. Your average tax rate is 10.7% and your marginal tax rate is 10.7%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
