FAQ

Why no income tax?

Income tax depends on dependents and non-taxable items; see the salary calculator.

Is the non-taxable meal allowance excluded?

Yes. The monthly non-taxable amount (default ₩200,000 meals) is subtracted from gross pay before applying the rates, the same basis as the salary calculator.

Do rates change?

Pension cap in July, other rates in January. Edit the rates in the calculator.
