Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 107,859 원 to pay you 564,000 원. In other words, every time you spend 10 원 of your hard-earned money, 2.98 원 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
25.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 10.7% tax rate now rises to 25.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 14.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 564,000 원 a year living in South Korea, you will be taxed 60,284 원. That means that your net pay will be 503,716 원 per year, or 41,976 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. For instance, an increase of 100 원 in your salary will be taxed 10.69 원, hence, your net pay will only increase by 89.31 원.
