Why your tax isn't a flat percentage
Singapore income tax is progressive. The first $20,000 of chargeable income is tax-free; then income is taxed in slices from 2% up to 24% on income above $1 million. Only the income within each bracket is taxed at that bracket's rate, so your effective rate is always lower than your top bracket.
Reliefs — especially CPF relief — reduce your chargeable income before the rates apply.
