Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $ 8,665 to pay you $ 54,688. In other words, every time you spend $ 10 of your hard-earned money, $ 2.54 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
21.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 9.5% tax rate now rises to 21.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $ 656,256 a year living in Taiwan, you will be taxed $ 62,400. That means that your net pay will be $ 593,856 per year, or $ 49,488 per month. Your average tax rate is 9.5% and your marginal tax rate is 13.1%. 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 $ 13.11, hence, your net pay will only increase by $ 86.89.
