Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 3,112,837 원 to pay you 19,673,333 원. In other words, every time you spend 10 원 of your hard-earned money, 4.90 원 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
42.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 33.2% tax rate now rises to 42.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 236,079,996 원 a year living in South Korea, you will be taxed 78,313,301 원. That means that your net pay will be 157,766,695 원 per year, or 13,147,225 원 per month. Your average tax rate is 33.2% 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.
