    About this tool

    Choose gross or take-home input to calculate the corresponding amount under your selected deductions. Turn a gross monthly or annual salary into an estimated monthly payment. The Korean profile uses the published monthly income-tax table rather than an annual-tax shortcut, including eligible family members, children and an 80/100/120% withholding choice. Insurance and tax appear separately in the payment breakdown. English pages still require an explicit jurisdiction choice.
