Singapore Income Tax Calculator (YA 2026)
Singapore
A Singapore offer, tax filing, or residency question where the 15% non-resident floor changes the answer.
Singapore tax depends first on residency. Residents use progressive rates up to 24% after eligible personal reliefs; non-resident employees pay the higher of 15% of employment income or the resident-rate calculation, while non-resident directors and most other non-resident income are taxed at 24%. This calculator runs the correct branch instead of silently assuming everyone is resident.

The operator’s read
Worth knowing
Resident tax is calculated on S$60,000 after S$0 of reliefs. Reliefs reduce chargeable income, not the tax bill dollar for dollar, and the total claim is capped at S$80,000.
Caution
This is an income-tax estimate, not a filing. It does not decide tax residency, short-term employment exemptions, treaty relief, foreign tax credits, donations, or one-off rebates.
Methodology
Residents: chargeable income equals annual taxable income minus eligible personal reliefs, capped at S$80,000. Progressive IRAS rates from YA 2024 onwards are then applied, from 0% on the first S$20,000 to 24% above S$1,000,000.
Non-resident employees: tax is the higher of 15% of gross employment income or the resident progressive-rate amount without personal reliefs. Non-resident directors and most other non-resident income use 24%.
Scope: YA 2026 individual income tax. This estimate does not determine residency or model treaty claims, short-term exemptions, foreign tax credits, donations, or one-off rebates.
