Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 522,186 원 to pay you 2,764,667 원. In other words, every time you spend 10 원 of your hard-earned money, 3.81 원 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
32.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 19.2% tax rate now rises to 32.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 66,352,008 원 a year living in South Korea, you will be taxed 12,766,066 원. That means that your net pay will be 53,585,942 원 per year, or 4,465,495 원 per month. Your average tax rate is 19.2% and your marginal tax rate is 23.4%. 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 23.38 원, hence, your net pay will only increase by 76.62 원.
Bonus Example
