Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $ 2,062 to pay you $ 12,020. In other words, every time you spend $ 10 of your hard-earned money, $ 2.60 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
22.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 8.9% tax rate now rises to 22.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $ 12,020 a year living in Taiwan, you will be taxed $ 1,064. That means that your net pay will be $ 10,956 per year, or $ 913 per month.
