Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $ 219,990 to pay you $ 3,458,336. In other words, every time you spend $ 10 of your hard-earned money, $ 2.64 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
24.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20% tax rate now rises to 24.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $ 3,458,336 a year living in Taiwan, you will be taxed $ 692,015. That means that your net pay will be $ 2,766,321 per year, or $ 230,527 per month. Your average tax rate is 20.0% and your marginal tax rate is 30.0%. 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 $ 30, hence, your net pay will only increase by $ 70.
