How your tax is calculated

The first S$20,000 is tax-free, and rates then rise gradually from 2% to 24%. The employee CPF contribution of up to 20% of wages is deducted separately and stays in your own CPF accounts. Reliefs and rebates are not applied. Your marginal rate is 20% — every additional $1 you earn keeps roughly $0.80 after tax and CPF.
