Estimated Tax Burden (Including Local Income Tax), at a Glance

This estimate reflects only the wage income deduction (Income Tax Act Art. 47), basic deduction (Art. 50, ₩1.5 million per person), and wage income tax credit (Art. 59). Special income and tax deductions (insurance, medical, education expenses, etc.) are not included, so your actual tax may differ — and choosing the flat tax means you can't claim any of those special deductions at all. Please confirm the exact amount through a consultation.
