Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $ 97.36 to pay you $ 836. In other words, every time you spend $ 10 of your hard-earned money, $ 2.59 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
23.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 14.2% tax rate now rises to 23.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $ 1,738,880 a year living in Taiwan, you will be taxed $ 247,387. That means that your net pay will be $ 1,491,493 per year, or $ 124,291 per month. Your average tax rate is 14.2% and your marginal tax rate is 21.6%. 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 $ 21.55, hence, your net pay will only increase by $ 78.45.
Bonus Example
A $ 1,000 bonus will generate an extra $ 785 of net incomes. A $ 5,000 bonus will generate an extra $ 3,923 of net incomes.
