Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $ 219,990 to pay you $ 17,150,000. In other words, every time you spend $ 10 of your hard-earned money, $ 3.65 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
36.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 35.2% tax rate now rises to 36.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $ 17,150,000 a year living in Taiwan, you will be taxed $ 6,042,515. That means that your net pay will be $ 11,107,485 per year, or $ 925,624 per month. Your average tax rate is 35.2% 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.
Bonus Example
A $ 1,000 bonus will generate an extra $ 600 of net incomes. A $ 5,000 bonus will generate an extra $ 3,000 of net incomes.
