How Taiwan individual income tax works (113 tax year)
Enter annual total income (NT$)
Type your annual total income (salary-based). The calculator automatically deducts the exemption, standard deduction and salary special deduction to derive your net taxable income.
Choose your filing status
Single uses the single standard deduction; married filing jointly doubles the standard deduction, and the exemption is counted per filer.
Enter number of dependents
Each dependent adds one exemption (NT$97,000 each), reducing your net taxable income directly.
Read the tax estimate
The result computes tax payable using the 113 tax-year progressive brackets (quick-deduction method) and shows net taxable income, the marginal bracket/rate, and the effective rate.
How Taiwan individual income tax works (113 tax year)
Individual income tax (綜合所得稅) is how Taiwan taxes a resident's combined annual income. The National Taxation Bureau under the Ministry of Finance assesses it per tax year, with the annual return generally filed in May, and this calculator uses the 113 tax-year figures (2024 income, filed in 2025).
The estimate works in two steps. First, your total income less the exemption (NT$97,000 per person, multiplied by 1 + dependents), the standard deduction (NT$131,000 single, or NT$262,000 married filing jointly) and the salary special deduction (NT$218,000) gives your net taxable income. Second, that net income is taxed through the progressive brackets using the quick-deduction method.
The brackets for the 113 tax year are: 5% up to NT$590,000; 12% to NT$1,330,000 (quick deduction NT$41,300); 20% to NT$2,660,000 (NT$147,700); 30% to NT$4,980,000 (NT$413,700); and 40% above NT$4,980,000 (NT$911,700). Tax payable = net income × the bracket rate − the bracket quick deduction.
Filing status matters: a single filer takes the single standard deduction, while a married couple filing jointly doubles it and counts the exemption per filer. Each dependent adds one further exemption, reducing net taxable income directly.
Scope: this is a simplified estimate of salary-based individual income tax. It omits many real-world items — itemised deductions (insurance, medical, donations, mortgage interest), other special deductions (pre-school, tuition, disability, long-term care), investment/overseas income, the Income Basic Tax (AMT), and tax credits — so your actual tax may differ. The 113 figures are CPI-adjusted; verify at mof.gov.tw.
10 Facts About Taiwan Individual Income Tax
Taiwan individual income tax is charged per tax year; this calculator uses the 113 tax year (2024 income, filed May 2025) exemptions, deductions and progressive rates.
Tax payable uses the quick-deduction (累進差額) method: tax = net taxable income × applicable rate − quick deduction, so there is no need to split income band by band.
The 113 tax-year exemption is NT$97,000 per person (general dependents; those aged 70+ have a higher amount, but this tool uses the general figure).
The 113 tax-year standard deduction is NT$131,000 for single filers and NT$262,000 for married filing jointly (double the single figure).
The salary special deduction for the 113 tax year is NT$218,000 per salaried earner (a fixed cap; this tool applies the fixed cap).
For the 113 tax year the progressive rates have five brackets: 5%, 12%, 20%, 30% and 40%, with the lowest 5% applying to net income up to NT$590,000.
Net taxable income = total income − exemptions (incl. dependents) − deductions (standard or itemised) − special deductions.
This tool uses the standard deduction; if your itemised deductions (insurance, medical, donations, mortgage interest, etc.) are higher, your actual tax may be lower.
A couple may elect joint computation, separate computation of salary income, or separate computation of all categories; this tool estimates on the simplified joint-filing basis.
This tool covers a salary-based individual income tax estimate only — it excludes itemised deductions, investment/overseas income, the Income Basic Tax (AMT) and special-deduction line items, so the figure assessed by the Ministry of Finance prevails.
Frequently Asked Questions
- It is Taiwan's income tax on an individual's combined annual income (salary, interest, rental, professional practice, etc.), assessed per tax year by the National Taxation Bureau under the Ministry of Finance, with the annual return generally filed in May.
- Total annual income less the exemption (NT$97,000 per person, including dependents), the standard deduction (NT$131,000 single / NT$262,000 married-joint) and the salary special deduction (NT$218,000) gives net taxable income; tax is then computed by the quick-deduction method: tax = net income × applicable rate − quick deduction.
- The Ministry of Finance's formal assessment factors in more items — itemised deductions (insurance, medical/maternity, donations, owner-occupied mortgage interest), other special deductions (pre-school, tuition, disability, long-term care), tax credits and the Income Basic Tax. This is a simplified salary-based estimate, so differences are normal.
- The quick deduction is a shortcut for progressive rates. Instead of taxing each band separately, "net income × bracket rate − bracket quick deduction" gives the same result in one step — e.g. NT$1,000,000 × 12% − 41,300 = NT$78,700.
- For the 113 tax year the exemption is NT$97,000 per person; the standard deduction is NT$131,000 (single) / NT$262,000 (married-joint); and the salary special deduction is NT$218,000 per salaried earner. These amounts are adjusted for inflation (CPI) — rely on the Ministry of Finance announcement.
- A married couple must file jointly, but may elect among joint computation, separate computation of salary income, or separate computation of all categories — whichever is most favourable. This tool estimates on the simplified joint basis with a doubled standard deduction; for the optimal method, use the Bureau's calculator.
- For the 113 tax year each salaried earner may deduct a fixed NT$218,000 (or actual salary if lower for the year). From the 112 tax year necessary expenses may instead be itemised and the higher taken; this tool applies the fixed cap.
- This tool estimates under the rules for residents of the Republic of China (Taiwan). Non-residents (present under 183 days in a tax year) are taxed by withholding at the source at different rates and do not get the above exemption and deductions — check separately or seek professional advice.
- No. Beyond the salary special deduction, individual income tax also has special deductions for property-transaction losses, savings/investment, disability, tuition, pre-school and long-term care — none of which this tool computes, so your actual tax payable may be lower.
- No. All calculations run entirely in your browser — your income, filing status and number of dependents are never transmitted to any server or stored anywhere. Closing this page clears all your inputs instantly.
