Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $ 219,990 to pay you $ 12,400,000. In other words, every time you spend $ 10 of your hard-earned money, $ 3.52 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
34.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 33.4% tax rate now rises to 34.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $ 12,400,000 a year living in Taiwan, you will be taxed $ 4,142,515. That means that your net pay will be $ 8,257,485 per year, or $ 688,124 per month. Your average tax rate is 33.4% and your marginal tax rate is 40.0%. 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 $ 40, hence, your net pay will only increase by $ 60.
