What this result means
This estimator applies versioned 2026 employee contribution rates to the monthly insurance basis you enter. It does not automatically calculate income tax or decide insurance coverage because those depend on payroll, personal, nationality, and status details.
How to use it
- Copy gross pay and the social-insurance basis from your contract or payslip when available.
- Select only insurance deductions that actually apply and enter income/local tax from payroll or the official tax table.
- Compare each line with your wage statement; small differences can result from payroll basis and rounding rules.

Frequently asked questions
Does the calculator automatically estimate Korean income tax?
No. Enter the income and local income tax amount you want included. Withholding varies by taxable pay, dependants, elections, and payroll treatment.
Does national pension apply to every foreign worker?
Not necessarily. Coverage can vary by nationality, social-security agreement, status, and other conditions, so it is a user-selected deduction.
Why can my payslip differ from the result?
Your employer may use a different reported remuneration basis, official rounding rules, taxable components, retroactive adjustments, or deductions not entered here.
