Income tax calculator
May 19th, 2007
[Update: the 2009 version of this post is here: Income Tax Calculator 2009.]
[Update: the 2008 version of this post is here: Income Tax Calculator 2008.]
We have all filed our tax returns. But we’re not sure how much tax we’ll be paying.
Here’s an income tax calculator for this year (YA2007). Just enter your chargeable income (assessable income minus all applicable reliefs):
The above calculator is based on information from Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS).
Even though the maximum individual tax rate is 20%, most of us will be charged at a (much) lower rate due to the progressive tax structure. For example, if your chargeable income is $100k, your tax rate is only 7.1%. The graph below shows effective tax rate against chargeable income:

Kevin Says:
May 21st, 2007 at 11:09 am Wow, the steepest raise if from $20,000 to 85,000. i.e. majority of the workforce.
From $350,000 to $500,000, only addition of 2% for a $150,000 increment.
This is truely taxing the poor to feed the rich.
n00b Says:
May 21st, 2007 at 11:50 am What is chargeable income?
Take into example someone earning 2.5k per mth (before CPF). Which of these are chargeable?
a. 2,500 x 12?
b. [(2,500 + employer CPF contributions) x 12] + bonus
c. [(80% of 2,500 + employer CPF contribtution) x 12] + bonus
d. other combinations
Thanks!

Tax Payer Says:
May 21st, 2007 at 3:30 pm To Kelvin, trying to understand your logic: just because the rate of increase diminishes as you move up the scale, it means that the poor are being taxed to feed the rich?
One of them earning $500K contributes more tax then 10 of us earning $100k.
Based on the chart, the former pays about $80k (@16%), while each of the “poorer ones” only pays $7k (@7%). Yet, the salary of the former is even near 10x that of the “poorer ones”.
How’s my maths?

pmg Says:
May 21st, 2007 at 10:45 pm I think the point Kevin is trying to make is that the middle class gets squeezed a lot more for trying to climb the ladder but those closer to the top get taxed a lot less trying to move up. So unless you start off nearer to the top, you’ll feel the squeeze quite a bit.
nn Says:
May 21st, 2007 at 11:16 pm n00b, it should be 2,500 x 12 + bonus, then minus whatever reliefs you’re entitled to (e.g. earned income, wife, children, provident fund). Generally, your CPF contributions can be deducted (as a “provident fund” relief). See http://www.iras.gov.sg/ESVPortal/ii...

Also i have heard if i leave after 5 years then what were tax was been collected is refunded, is that true?
awaiting response
admin Says:
August 8th, 2007 at 1:15 pm Sanjay, my comments provided “as is” (you must check with other sources on the info provided here):
Since you are physically in Singapore, you will be taxed as a “tax resident”. And based on YA2007 rates, your gross tax payable is S$6,540.

August 17th, 2007 at 5:13 pm Hi.,
My salary is SGD 5000/month and I am travelling to Singapore next month. Whats is the tax liability by me considering that I will be shelled out 5000 as my basic.What is the logic of change in tax for 6 month and more than 6 month calculation?
admin Says:
August 18th, 2007 at 12:07 am karthik, assuming your chargeable income is $60k and tax rates stay the same, your gross tax payable is $2,600.
As for the “logic of change” for a tax resident vis-a-vis a non-resident (physically in Singapore for less than 183 days), I’m really not sure. It’s best if you check with IRAS.

Basic : S$43800
Bonus : S$1200
Insurance: S$60
Family Insurance : S$200.
Two Questions :
What will be my net take home salary per month. Would appriciate if can reply with each deduction item as well.
Is this a practically enough salary to live and save some money for a new commer like me with 2.5 Years experience in IT. ( I know its a wauge question – but…)
admin Says:
August 19th, 2007 at 10:39 pm Satish, I think it’s best for you to check with your employer regarding pay matters (deductions, CPF, tax, insurance, net pay, other benefits, etc). As for living comfortably, it depends on your lifestyle. If you just rent a room, you can be quite comfortable with that kind of pay.

admin Says:
September 17th, 2007 at 9:25 pm KK, you’ll be taxed as a resident since you’ll be physically in Singapore. Assuming you make $3k x 12 = $36k for the year, you’ll need to pay $680.
Disclaimer: I’m not a tax expert. Please check with your employer or IRAS to confirm my calculations.

thanks
sam
admin Says:
September 26th, 2007 at 10:42 pm sam, if you rent a room (as opposed to an apartment), I’m pretty sure you can save heaps.
But if you insist on having a whole apartment to yourself, you have to consider areas further from the city area. $2-3k in rental shouldn’t be hard to come by.
Good luck.

October 18th, 2007 at 8:59 am Hello Admin:
Im being offered by a Singaporean company of S$ 1800/mos (gross) as a management trainee.I’m not originally from Singapore, however according to my contract, I’ll be staying with the company for 2 years..hence I’ll be tax as a resident individual.
My questions are:
1. Is my salary competetive given my position?? 2. (Pls) Help me compute my net montly income given my monthly salary?
3. Is the deduction of tax on income per month or per annum basis?
Thank you very much.. I badly need your help regarding this “tax” matter!
xoxo,
Kooki
admin Says:
October 25th, 2007 at 2:03 am Kooki, I can’t comment on whether your salary is competitive, but your tax payable – which is $56 payable per year assuming no reliefs and no rebates – is very low.
Your employer do not deduct tax from your monthly income, unlike in some parts of the world. Instead, you pay tax directly to Iras, either in one lump sum once a year, or by GIRO on a monthly basis.
Disclaimer: my comments provided “as is”. It’s always best to confirm with Iras or a professional tax consultant.
Rainer Says:
November 18th, 2007 at 8:50 pm I still have trouble understanding, what exactly makes up the taxable income. I am offered the following:
basic: 10500pm x 13
car allowance: 1800 pm
housing allowance: 5500 pm
Does that mean that my taxable income 10500×13 + 1800×12 + 5500×12 = 158100 is?
Also, I think the company would rent the place for me. How would that influence the taxable income?
Regs
Rainer
admin Says:
November 19th, 2007 at 12:46 am Rainer, I believe certain benefits given by employers are taxable.
From what I know, both allowances you mentioned are taxable (for housing, there’s a formula, so it’s not the full value that’s subject to tax). See:
http://www.iras.gov.sg/irasHome/pag...
http://www.iras.gov.sg/irasHome/pag...
As always, you must check with your employer or the HR department to be absolutely sure.

December 6th, 2007 at 5:18 pm Hi,
I came to singapore on 12th November, and my monthly salary is S$5500…there is no other allowance from the company..my entire salary is quoted as Basic, how much should I have to pay for this year and how much it will be for the next year. please advise me on the same..I am confused by many collegues…
admin Says:
December 6th, 2007 at 10:49 pm Omar, yes, you have to pay tax for your company, as well as income tax for your personal income.
Advisory: I’m not a tax expert. Always consult with the relevant experts / authorities.
admin Says:
December 6th, 2007 at 10:52 pm Suresh, for “Year of Assessment 2008″ (YA2008), your income for 2007 will be taken into account. Since it’s not much, I don’t think you’ll have to pay any tax in 2008.
But in YA2009, your entire 2008 income will be taken into account – $5,500 x 12 (assuming no other income) – and you’ll be taxed on that. So you’ll be paying taxes in 2009.
Advisory: Always check with the relevant authorities on tax matters.

The YA2007 tax rate for non-residents is 15% for employment income and 20% for other income.
Please contact IRAS or a tax consultant to be sure.

February 20th, 2008 at 10:26 pm A. White, are you aware of the 2-year concession? If you are here for 183 days straddling 2 years, you can be taxed as a resident. I believe it’s better to be taxed as a resident in many cases.
See this for details:

Comparison of tax resident and non-resident:

As always, contact IRAS or a tax consultant to be sure.

February 20th, 2008 at 10:42 pm Hi, I have monthly transport allowance as part of my basic package and I’ve been taxed for the allowance part as well though I spend lots of money as taxi expense for both office travel as well as to support client as I don’t have a car. I am not sure how to claim tax concession for this expense. In addition, I spent lots of money as client and team entertainment to keep my team floating. My company policies says only 10 dollars per quarter is claimable. Can you advice how to claim tax relief for this as well. Both taxi and entertainment doesn’t come with proper bills always (like sea food center – 100/200 a week), which makes it even more difficult. Please advice.Thanks in advance.

April 12th, 2008 at 12:13 pm Hey admin,
sporean dude here but clueless on how to claim tax relief for 2 kids.
1. With wife working and earning 50k PA am I still entitled to child tax relief? ( I earn 80kPA)
2. Tips of areas to look out for to reduce taxes?
3.Best way to save money on taxes is…..
admin Says:
April 12th, 2008 at 2:05 pm Mike, have you started filing yet? In the online form itself, you should see Working Mother Child Relief (WMCR), Qualifying Child Relief (QCR), and so on. Click on the help to get a popup window explaining how to claim such reliefs.
As for “best way”, if I remember, a good way is to claim QCR under you (not your wife). Reason: Any relief that’s applicable to either husband or wife should best go to the person in the higher bracket to enjoy greater saving. QCR is such a relief.
Also, since you have 2 kids, have you applied for the Parenthood Tax Rebate (PTR)? If not, it’s also there in the online form – click on it, provide all the info, and they will do the rest.

January 9th, 2009 at 2:06 pm I’m moving to Singapore!! The new Vietnamese tax rates on personal income are much higher! And NO exemptions can be claimed. A person earning $40,000 (USD) has a tax rate of 21%. And who knows what is being done with the tax revenues.
