How Singapore resident tax works
Singapore taxes residents on a progressive scale — the first $20,000 of chargeable income is tax-free, and each band above that is taxed at a higher rate. You only pay the higher rate on the income that falls within each band, not on your whole income.
What is chargeable income?
Chargeable income is your total assessable income for the year minus allowable deductions and personal reliefs (such as earned income relief and CPF relief). Enter that figure above — not your gross salary.
