Income Tax Act art. 129(1)3, Local Tax Act art. 103-13(1)

If the contract says ₩3,000,000, ₩99,000 is withheld and ₩2,901,000 reaches your account.
What this calculator does not do
It does not estimate your annual income tax. The 3.3% is prepaid tax, and the final amount is settled when you file the May return the following year. What decides that amount is your deductible expenses, which depend on your line of work and your bookkeeping. If we picked a number for you, it would be a number with nothing behind it.
It does not tell you which contract is better. It puts the employee figure and the freelancer figure side by side and lists what the comparison leaves out.
It is not tax advice. For a dispute, ask the National Tax Service counseling line (126) or a licensed tax accountant.
