Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 119,686 원 to pay you 744,000 원. In other words, every time you spend 10 원 of your hard-earned money, 4.69 원 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
40.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.8% tax rate now rises to 40.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 193,440,000 원 a year living in South Korea, you will be taxed 59,649,106 원. That means that your net pay will be 133,790,894 원 per year, or 11,149,241 원 per month. Your average tax rate is 30.8% and your marginal tax rate is 43.8%. 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 43.77 원, hence, your net pay will only increase by 56.23 원.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 원 bonus will generate an extra 562 원 of net incomes. A 5,000 원 bonus will generate an extra 2,812 원 of net incomes.
