Korea's Unpaid Wage Interest Calculator - 20% a Year, and Three Times in Court
Fourteen days after you leave, and from the next day interest runs at 20% a year. Since 23 October 2025 it runs on wages unpaid while you are still employed, and any one of three grounds lets you claim up to three times in court.
Korea's Unpaid Retention Subsidy Calculator - This Money Goes to the Worker's Account
Same name, different pocket: the paid retention subsidy goes to the employer, the unpaid one straight to the worker. A 20-person workplace needs half its staff off for 30 days; a 99-person one needs ten - and both numbers are ten.
Korea's Employment Retention Subsidy Calculator - A Large Firm Gets Two-Thirds Too, Past a Half-Cut
The state returns two-thirds of the shutdown allowance the employer paid - one-half at a large firm. But cut more than half the month's contract hours and a large firm gets two-thirds as well, because item (ii) of the provision carries no large-firm bracket.
Korea's Shutdown Allowance Calculator - The Floor Is 70% of the Ordinary Wage, the Ceiling 100%
The statute says "70% of the average wage", but for a monthly-paid worker without bonuses it becomes 70% of the ordinary wage, because art. 2(2) lifts the average to it. Enter the shutdown date and three months' pay for the legal minimum; anything received comes off before the 70%.
Korea's Maternity Leave Benefit Calculator - Firm Size Changes Who Pays, Not What You Get
On a 3m won monthly wage a priority-support firm's worker gets 6.6m from the state and 1.6m from the employer; at a large firm it is 2.2m and 6m - the same 8.2m won either way. Enter your wage and firm size to see the split.
Korea's Annual-Leave Use-Promotion Deadline Calculator - Ten Days from 1 July, Then 31 October
Whether the employer's notice fell inside the "10 days from six months before" window turns on a single date. Enter your hire date for the window and both deadlines; under one year of service there are two clocks.
Korea's Unemployment Benefit for the Self-Employed - Only Two Things Are Left Out
The base amount comes not from your takings but from the figure you insured on. And one missed premium is enough to block it if you have only just passed a year.
Korea's EITC Half-Year Claim - the Months-Worked Divisor Moves More Than the 35%
Annualising first-half income multiplies it by seven at one month worked and by two at six. Fewer months means a larger deemed income - unless you left mid-year, when it is fixed at six months.
Korea's Other Unemployment Allowances - 10,320 Won a Day, 25 Kilometres and 7.5 Tonnes
Three more payments sit beside the jobseeker's benefit. None of them carries its amount in the Act, and two are sent to a table in the civil-service travel rules - which turns out to have no distance in it.
Korea's Housing Subscription Deduction - a 1.2m Won Deduction Hands You 198,000 Won
40% of up to 3 million won a year comes off your income, not your tax, so only your rate returns. And closing within five years repays 2.27 times what the 6% band ever saved.
Korea's Early Reemployment Allowance - Nothing at 104 Days, 3.47m Won at 105
It pays half of the jobseeker benefit you leave behind. But you must leave at least half, start more than 14 days after filing, and earn under 5.74m won a month at the new job.
Korea's 2027 Minimum Wage Checker - 10,700 Won, and Why the Same Pay Is 9,743 If Meals Are in Kind
Up 380 won (3.7%) to 2,236,300 a month. But the pay measured against it is not the total - it is regular monthly pay, and bonuses and meal money have counted in full since 2024.
Korea's Regional Health Insurance Premium Calculator - the Same 24m Won Costs 71,900 as a Pension and 143,800 as Business
One line for income, one for property. Only wages and pensions count by half, and property is nothing to 100m, then 4,653 won from the next 10,000.
Korea's Health Insurance Dependant Test - Interest Counts as Zero to 10m Won, and in Full One Won Over
There is more text between "income 20m" and "property 540m". Pensions count in full, financial income is a cliff, and past the property line the income limit halves.
Basic Pension Income Test - the Same 100m Won Can Be Nothing, 267,000 or 100m
A home under the allowance is zero, savings convert at 4 percent over 12 months, and a car counts whole every month. That is the order of the words in the Rule.
Deductions Korea's Tax Feed Leaves Out - and Why
It was the Decree, not the tax office, that removed glasses and hearing aids. One proviso explains it.
Korean City Gas Bill Calculator - Heat Units and Discounts
A heat value sits between the volume and the charge, so the same cubic metres cost differently each month.

The bracket is not the summer share; it is all that remains once winter comes from elsewhere.

Rent loan and savings share 4m won, and both sit inside the mortgage interest cap.

Age is the year minus your birth year, not your age in full years. And only non-desk staff go annually.
Korean Medical Expense Tax Credit Calculator - The 3% Floor
The 7m won cap sits on paragraph 1 only. Whose return a parent's bills go on is decided right there.
Korean Year-End Tax Settlement Calculator - Refund or Bill
The rates do not apply to gross pay. Two subtractions come first. And the child credit now starts at 13.
Korean Interim Income Tax Calculator - Not Half of Last May
The statute adds last November's interim payment too, then halves the sum. Under 500,000 won nothing is collected.
Korean VAT Calculator - Simplified VAT Does Not Subtract Input Tax
It multiplies sales by a sector rate instead, so however large the purchases, no refund arrives.
Korea's Monthly Rent Tax Credit Calculator - Four Thresholds, and Rent Counted by Days
In February 2026 the way the rent itself is counted changed - days rented, not months paid.
Korean Inheritance Tax Calculator - The Deductions Come Before the Rate
With a spouse and children, nothing is due up to 1bn won - that is what the statute says.
Korea's Pension Savings and IRP Tax Credit Calculator - Two Caps, and You Need Tax to Owe
The same 9m won lands differently by where it went, and short of tax the rest simply disappears.

Only interest and dividends after losses and fees are taxed - this puts a number on the difference.
Korea's Child Credit Calculator - Per Child, and How It Compares With the Child Tax Credit
The table figure is per child, so the count multiplies straight through - and the end is a cliff.

Korean Annual Leave Calculator — 11 Days at One Year, 26 One Day Later
Enter a hire date and a reference date and you get both the days accrued and what the unused ones are worth. The sharpest split is leaving after exactly one year: 11 days against 26, decided by a single day.
Korean Severance Tax Calculator — The Same 100m Won, Taxed 39 Ways
How much you received is only half of it. The statute divides the payout by years of service, runs it through the rate table, then multiplies it back — so longer service drops it into lower brackets.
Korean DSR Calculator — the Ratio That Sets Your Limit, Not You
Enter income and existing debt to see how much more you can borrow, and what the limit would be with the stress rate switched off.
Five Places People Get Korea's DSR Wrong — All of Them in Figures
Counting interest only gets you a quarter of the way, the heavy thing is the term rather than the balance, and the LTV limit is not your limit.
Korean Holiday Work Pay Calculator — Chuseok 2026, and Why Headcount Comes First
The 1.5x answer is right but incomplete. Table 1 of the Enforcement Decree omits article 56 from the Chapter 4 cell, so below five staff the premium is not 1.5x but zero.
Korea Parental Leave Benefit Calculator (2026)
We could never find “the deferred payment was abolished” on Employment 24. Article 95 of the Decree settles it: “(4) Deleted <24 December 2024>.” Nothing in the current legislation provides a basis for it.
Korean Part-Time Pay Calculator (2026) — The ₩41,280 Step at 15 Hours
The statute measures the 15-hour holiday-pay line as a four-week average, and the probation cut is not “up to 10% of pay” but “the hourly minimum wage minus 10 per cent” — a floor of ₩9,288 in 2026.
Korean Net Salary Calculator (2026) — 9.72% for Most, 6.53% at the Top
The ₩200,000 tax-free meal allowance carries a proviso: “limited to a person who is not provided with meals.” Childbirth support, meanwhile, is tax-free in full with no cap, and childcare allowance runs ₩200,000 per child.
Korean Net Pay by Salary, 2026 — You Keep 90% at ₩24M and 79% at ₩100M
Salary rises 4.2 times while net pay rises 3.7. Social insurance is not the cause — income tax is.
