Automatically calculates the new 4.75% employee pension rate and July ceiling change, 3.595% health insurance, long-term-care ratio and 0.9% employment insurance. Enter the assessed monthly pension income (not contributions) for each half-year; the tool applies floors, caps and rates. Health/care reflects annual remuneration after settlement, which can differ from deductions actually collected this year. Tax includes wage-income deduction, personal/elderly/disability deductions, wage and qualifying child/marriage credits, and chooses between statutory health/EI deductions and the ₩130,000 standard credit. Local income tax is added separately. Dependants must meet income and age rules and cannot be claimed twice. Excludes credit-card spending, rent, education/medical/donation deductions, private pensions, subsidies, non-taxable allowances and foreign-worker flat-tax elections. Results are an annual estimate before those additional claims, not a complete year-end return.
