Income tax rates depend on an individual's tax residency status. Find out the income tax rate that is applicable to you.

Income tax rates depend on an individual's tax residency status. You will be treated as a tax resident for a particular Year of Assessment (YA) if you are a:

1. Singapore Citizen or Singapore Permanent Resident who resides in Singapore except for temporary absences; or

2. Foreigner who has stayed/worked in Singapore:

a. For at least 183 days in the previous calendar year; or

b. Continuously for 3 consecutive years, even if the period of stay in Singapore may be less than 183 days in the first year and/or third year; or

3. Foreigner who has worked in Singapore for a continuous period straddling 2 calendar years and the total period of stay is at least 183 days*. This applies to employees who entered Singapore but excludes directors of a company, public entertainers, or professionals. 

*including your physical presence immediately before and after your employment

If you do not meet the conditions stated above, you will be treated as a non-resident of Singapore for tax purposes.

Singapore's personal income tax rates for resident taxpayers are progressive. This means higher income earners pay a proportionately higher tax, with the current highest personal income tax rate at 24%.
To achieve greater progressivity, the top marginal personal income tax rate will be increased with effect from YA 2024. Chargeable income in excess of $500,000 up to $1 million will be taxed at 23%, while that in excess of $1 million will be taxed at 24%; both up from the current rate of 22%.
