Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $ 180,775 to pay you $ 1,500,027. In other words, every time you spend $ 10 of your hard-earned money, $ 2.51 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
22.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 13.1% tax rate now rises to 22.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $ 1,500,027 a year living in Taiwan, you will be taxed $ 195,912. That means that your net pay will be $ 1,304,115 per year, or $ 108,676 per month. Your average tax rate is 13.1% and your marginal tax rate is 21.6%. 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 $ 21.55, hence, your net pay will only increase by $ 78.45.
