Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 147,096 원 to pay you 769,167 원. In other words, every time you spend 10 원 of your hard-earned money, 3.07 원 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
25.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 11.6% tax rate now rises to 25.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 14.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 9,230,004 원 a year living in South Korea, you will be taxed 1,070,314 원. That means that your net pay will be 8,159,690 원 per year, or 679,974 원 per month. Your average tax rate is 11.6% 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.
