Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 9,000 บาท to pay you 1,968,000 บาท. In other words, every time you spend 10 บาท of your hard-earned money, 1.89 บาท goes to the government.
Real tax rate
18.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 18.5% tax rate now rises to 18.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 1,968,000 บาท a year living in Thailand, you will be taxed 363,750 บาท. That means that your net pay will be 1,604,250 บาท per year, or 133,688 บาท per month. Your average tax rate is 18.5% and your marginal tax rate is 25.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
