Financial Facts About Singapore

The median monthly gross salary in Singapore is $4,680, according to the latest figures from the Statistics Department of Singapore's Ministry of Manpower. This equates to a median annual salary of SGD 56,160, before taxes and other deductions.

Singapore does not have a government-regulated minimum wage, although the city-state has one of the highest GDP per capita in the world. This is partly explained by the fact that Singapore's economy is ranked as one of the most open and competitive in the world, making it a business-friendly regulatory environment for local and international companies.

Singapore boasts one of the lowest personal income tax rates in the world. Individuals are taxed only on the income earned in Singapore, and the tax rates for resident taxpayers are progressive, with higher rates being applied to higher income levels. The current highest personal income tax rate is only 22%.

Tourism is one of the biggest contributors to the Singaporean economy, attracting over 17 million international tourists annually, more than 3 times Singapore's total population. The annual Population in Brief report shows that foreigners represent 40% of the population in Singapore, as of June 2018. While having a very high standard of living, Singapore is also ranked first worldwide for the ease of doing business.
