What should be deducted from each pay cheque?

I know pension, tax, and health are the three main things, but what are the exact percentages should be deducted?

Tax should be around 2%

Health Insurance is about 2.3%

Pension is about 4.5%

Total: about 9% of your salary.

Sorry, I can't remember the exact numbers, and health just went up a bit, but I don't remember how much.

Tax is dependant on your salary level and is ~1.6% at 2 mil and goes up to ~3% at 2.5 mil for a single person with no dependents.

Health is 5.03% split 50/50 with your employer so you pay 2.515%.
Pension is ~4.5% (within a few hundred won).
