Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $ 219,990 to pay you $ 5,950,000. In other words, every time you spend $ 10 of your hard-earned money, $ 3.01 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
29.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.4% tax rate now rises to 29.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $ 5,950,000 a year living in Taiwan, you will be taxed $ 1,571,745. That means that your net pay will be $ 4,378,255 per year, or $ 364,855 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.4% 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.
