Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 6,158 원 to pay you 32,200 원. In other words, every time you spend 10 원 of your hard-earned money, 3.06 원 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
25.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 11.5% tax rate now rises to 25.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 14.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 8,372,000 원 a year living in South Korea, you will be taxed 961,617 원. That means that your net pay will be 7,410,383 원 per year, or 617,532 원 per month. Your average tax rate is 11.5% and your marginal tax rate is 12.7%. 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 12.67 원, hence, your net pay will only increase by 87.33 원.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 원 bonus will generate an extra 873 원 of net incomes. A 5,000 원 bonus will generate an extra 4,367 원 of net incomes.
