How to use Annual Salary Net Pay Calculator
Estimates Korean take-home pay by subtracting the four social insurance contributions and withheld income taxes from a gross annual or monthly salary.
It applies the 2026 employee rates (National Pension 4.75%, health insurance 3.595%, long-term care at 13.14% of the health premium, employment insurance 0.9%) and the withholding table amended on 27 February 2026.
- Choose annual or monthly pay and enter the gross amount before tax.
- Add monthly non-taxable pay such as meal allowance, the number of dependents including yourself, and how many of them are children aged 8 to 20.
- In advanced settings, mark contracts that include severance in the annual salary and pick a withholding ratio of 80% or 120% if you requested one.
- Review the monthly take-home amount and each deduction, then share the result link or save the image to compare with your payslip.
Useful for
- Checking what a salary offer means in monthly take-home pay before negotiating
- Roughly verifying that payslip deductions follow the 2026 rates
- Comparing contracts that include severance in the annual salary with those that do not
Limits and checks
- Meal allowance is non-taxable up to KRW 200,000 a month, so entering it lowers both insurance and tax.
- Dependents include you. Count every spouse, child or parent you claim as a dependent.
- Monthly income tax is an estimated withholding amount; year-end settlement can refund or add tax.
Worked example
Employee earning KRW 40 million a year
Pay basis: annual Gross salary: 40,000,000 Monthly non-taxable pay: 200,000 Dependents: 1 / children aged 8-20: 0
The monthly gross is 3,333,333 and contributions apply to the 3,133,333 taxable part.
Monthly take-home estimate
Take-home pay: 2,935,813 Pension 148,810 / Health 112,640 / Long-term care 14,800 / Employment 28,190 Income tax 84,620 / Local income tax 8,460
Amounts are truncated below ten won, so payroll software may differ by a few tens of won.
Common issues
The result differs from my payslip by a few thousand won
Check bonuses or overtime that change monthly, non-taxable items, and the dependents and withholding ratio your employer applied.
Entering children shows an error
Children aged 8 to 20 must also be counted as dependents. Increase the dependent count first, then enter the number of children.
How to interpret the result
Use the share of gross pay and the breakdown bar to see which deduction weighs most.
