Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 9,000 บาท to pay you 2,480,774 บาท. In other words, every time you spend 10 บาท of your hard-earned money, 2.11 บาท goes to the government.
Real tax rate
21.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20.8% tax rate now rises to 21.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 2,480,774 บาท a year living in Thailand, you will be taxed 515,532 บาท. That means that your net pay will be 1,965,242 บาท per year, or 163,770 บาท per month. Your average tax rate is 20.8% and your marginal tax rate is 30.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
