Formula and scope

Ordinary domestic interest/dividends: national withholding 14%, local tax 10% of national tax, total 15.4%. Above KRW 20 million, compare A = KRW 2.8 million + basic tax on excess financial income + other income − deductions, and B = all financial income × 14% + basic tax on other income − deductions; use the larger. This is national tax before credits/relief.

What this calculator cannot apply

All financial income must be ordinary domestic income subject to 14% withholding. Excludes dividend gross-up/credits, foreign/non-withheld income, private-loan 25%, exemptions, special separate taxation and partnership distributions. Difference from comparative tax is not the actual payment balance, which also depends on other income payments. Actual withholding rounding and filing may differ.
