South Korea payroll scope
The calculator estimates employee payroll in South Korea and keeps every result in KRW.
- No foreign law
- No currency conversion
Gross monthly pay comes first
Annual salary is converted to a monthly basis before deductions.
- 12 months when severance is separate
- 13 when included
Non-taxable pay reduces the working base
The preserved model subtracts the entered monthly non-taxable amount.
- Blank uses the sample fallback
- Eligibility must be checked separately
National pension assumption
The existing 2026 employee rate and monthly bounds are preserved, not newly asserted.
- Rate assumption
- Lower and upper bounds
- Recheck official figures
Health and long-term-care assumptions
Health insurance is calculated first and long-term care is a share of that amount.
- Separate result rows
- Preserved 2026 assumptions
Employment-insurance assumption
The preserved employee unemployment-insurance rate is applied to the taxable base.
- Employee-side estimate
- Employer contributions excluded
Income tax follows a withholding-table model
Article 134 supports monthly withholding by the simplified table; the embedded table remains the existing calculator data.
- Monthly taxable pay
- Dependants
- Children age 8–20
Local income tax is derived from income tax
The preserved model applies 10% of calculated income tax.
- Not a separate foreign tax
- Recheck current Korean rules
KRW 36,000,000 walkthrough
The sample treats KRW 36,000,000 as annual pay with severance separate and KRW 200,000 monthly non-taxable pay.
- Monthly gross KRW 3,000,000
- Then insurance and tax deductions
Before relying on the estimate
Compare the result with current official rates, your employer’s payroll policy, and the final payslip.
- Check effective dates
- Review allowances and bonuses
- Year-end settlement can change tax
Questions about South Korean take-home pay
Which country’s payroll does this calculate?
South Korea only, in KRW. It does not apply another country’s tax or insurance rules.
What legal structure supports income-tax withholding?
Article 134 says monthly employment income is withheld using the simplified withholding table.
Are the insurance rates guaranteed current?
No. The preserved 2026 rates and bounds must be rechecked against current official publications.
How are annual and monthly pay handled?
Annual pay is divided by 12 when severance is separate or 13 when included; monthly pay is used directly.
What happens when non-taxable pay is blank?
The preserved behavior uses KRW 200,000 as a sample fallback.
How are dependants and children used?
They select the table column and the preserved child-credit adjustment.
Why can payroll differ?
Bonuses, allowances, employer withholding choice, eligibility, and year-end settlement can differ.
When should figures be rechecked?
Before relying on the estimate for an offer or payslip comparison, consult current Korean official publications.
Checked 2026-08-10. Only the Korean Income Tax Act and Article 134 are used as legal authority. Insurance rates, bounds, and withholding-table figures are preserved calculator assumptions; recheck current official publications.
