Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 79 원 to pay you 411 원. In other words, every time you spend ₩10 of your hard-earned money, ₩2.99 goes to the government.

Real tax rate

25.1%

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 10.7% tax rate now rises to 25.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 14.4% higher than what it seemed at first.

Summary

If you make 854,776 원 a year living in South Korea, you will be taxed 91,364 원. That means that your net pay will be 763,412 원 per year, or 63,618 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 in your salary will be taxed ₩10.7, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₩89.3.

Bonus Example

A ₩1,000 bonus will generate an extra ₩893 of net incomes. A ₩5,000 bonus will generate an extra ₩4,465 of net incomes.
