How to use this tool
Choose gross-to-net or reverse and enter KRW amount. Both income and local rates use gross as their base; their sum must be above zero and below 100%.
Results and examples
Forward mode subtracts both deductions; reverse divides net by one minus their total rate. VAT, business expenses and annual income are absent, so this is not a filing-liability estimate.
Worked example
KRW 1 million at 3% income and 0.3% local tax leaves KRW 967,000 after KRW 33,000 withholding.
Limitations
- Eligibility as business, other or employment income is not determined.
- Expenses, allowances, progressive rates and annual filing outcomes are excluded.
