DETAILS

2026 South Korea payroll deduction basis

The estimator uses monthly gross pay minus the non-taxable amount as a simplified insurance base. Employee rates are 4.75% for National Pension, 4.0674% combined for health and long-term care insurance, and 0.9% for employment insurance. The National Pension base is capped at KRW 6.59 million for July 2026 through June 2027.

How to use the estimate

Enter monthly gross pay and non-taxable pay to calculate estimated employee social-insurance deductions. If you know the income tax and local income tax from a payslip or a separate withholding calculation, enter those amounts to include them in the take-home estimate.

Good to know

Income tax and local income tax are not calculated automatically yet. Actual payroll can also differ because of the reported insurance base, National Pension eligibility or floor rules, dependents, tax adjustments, and employer payroll practices.
