Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $ 347 to pay you $ 2,027. 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 8.8% tax rate now rises to 22.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $ 527,020 a year living in Taiwan, you will be taxed $ 46,587. That means that your net pay will be $ 480,433 per year, or $ 40,036 per month. Your average tax rate is 8.8% and your marginal tax rate is 8.8%. 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 $ 8.78, hence, your net pay will only increase by $ 91.22.
