Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 173 บาท to pay you 18,692 บาท. In other words, every time you spend 10 บาท of your hard-earned money, 1.30 บาท goes to the government.
Real tax rate
12.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12.1% tax rate now rises to 12.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 971,984 บาท a year living in Thailand, you will be taxed 117,276 บาท. That means that your net pay will be 854,708 บาท per year, or 71,226 บาท per month. Your average tax rate is 12.1% and your marginal tax rate is 21.8%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of 100 บาท in your salary will be taxed 21.84 บาท, hence, your net pay will only increase by 78.16 บาท.
