Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $ 219,990 to pay you $ 5,160,000. In other words, every time you spend $ 10 of your hard-earned money, $ 2.88 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
27.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24.5% tax rate now rises to 27.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $ 5,160,000 a year living in Taiwan, you will be taxed $ 1,266,469. That means that your net pay will be $ 3,893,531 per year, or $ 324,461 per month. Your average tax rate is 24.5% and your marginal tax rate is 38.6%. 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 $ 38.64, hence, your net pay will only increase by $ 61.36.
Bonus Example
A $ 1,000 bonus will generate an extra $ 614 of net incomes. A $ 5,000 bonus will generate an extra $ 3,068 of net incomes.
