Enter your gross salary, non-taxable allowance (e.g. meal allowance), and number of dependents to estimate your monthly take-home pay after Korea's 4 major insurances and income tax.
Enter the details above to estimate your take-home pay.
Estimates only, based on standard 2025 Korean 4-major-insurance rates and the same annualized formula the National Tax Service uses to build the simplified withholding tax table (근로소득 간이세액표), with the standard tax credit applied and child tax credits not included. Actual amounts withheld by your employer may differ depending on company-specific allowances, insurance caps, and payroll rounding — treat this as a reference figure, not tax or financial advice.
The salary written in a Korean job offer or contract is almost always the gross (pre-tax) amount — your actual take-home pay is lower after mandatory social insurance contributions and income tax are deducted. This tool estimates your monthly and annual take-home pay from your gross annual salary or monthly pay, factoring in non-taxable allowances (like a standard meal allowance) and number of dependents.
The calculator deducts National Pension, National Health Insurance, Long-Term Care Insurance, and Employment Insurance at their current standard contribution rates, plus income tax and local income tax estimated using the same annualized formula the National Tax Service's simplified withholding tax table is built on — this gives a close approximation of what your employer would actually withhold, not an official government lookup.
