Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 14,534 원 to pay you 76,000 원. In other words, every time you spend 10 원 of your hard-earned money, 3.17 원 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
26.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12.6% tax rate now rises to 26.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 14% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 19,760,000 원 a year living in South Korea, you will be taxed 2,494,069 원. That means that your net pay will be 17,265,931 원 per year, or 1,438,828 원 per month. Your average tax rate is 12.6% and your marginal tax rate is 15.8%. 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 15.75 원, hence, your net pay will only increase by 84.25 원.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 원 bonus will generate an extra 843 원 of net incomes. A 5,000 원 bonus will generate an extra 4,213 원 of net incomes.
