What is it
Korean net salary is the monthly gross (annual salary ÷ 12) minus employee-side social insurance — national pension 4.75% (income base capped at 0.4M–6.37M KRW for 2026 H1), health insurance 3.595%, long-term care at 13.14% of the health premium, employment insurance 0.9% — and income plus local income tax.
