2026 Korea assumptions

Resident mode uses the 6%–45% statutory tax table, the wage-income deduction, ₩1.5m basic deduction per qualifying person, wage-income tax credit, and local income tax at 10% of national PIT. Employee National Pension is modeled at 4.75%, with the July 2026 ceiling change; NHI+LTC use the 2026 employee effective rate; employment insurance is editable. Exact payroll bills can differ because statutory programs use reported standard remuneration, floors, caps and rounding.
