- Income tax follows the National Tax Service 근로소득 간이세액표 (withholding estimate). Your real tax is settled at year-end (연말정산), where deductions for insurance, medical, education, donations etc. apply — so your actual burden is usually lower.
- National Pension is capped at the ₩6.37M/month contribution ceiling (valid through Jun 2026). Rate is 4.75% (2026 reform, employee share of 9.5%).
- Assumes a standard employee. Non-taxable allowances (meal, childcare, vehicle) reduce both insurance and tax — enter taxable pay only.
