Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $ 1,380 to pay you $ 8,044. In other words, every time you spend $ 10 of your hard-earned money, $ 2.60 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
22.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 8.9% tax rate now rises to 22.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $ 8,044 a year living in Taiwan, you will be taxed $ 712. That means that your net pay will be $ 7,332 per year, or $ 611 per month. Your average tax rate is 8.9% and your marginal tax rate is 8.9%. 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 $ 8.86, hence, your net pay will only increase by $ 91.14.
