Summary
If you make 66,875 원 a year living in South Korea, you will be taxed 7,148 원. That means that your net pay will be 59,727 원 per year, or 4,977 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.
