9.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 5% tax rate now rises to 9.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 17,400 บาท a year living in Thailand, you will be taxed 870 บาท. That means that your net pay will be 16,530 บาท per year, or 1,378 บาท per month.
