At my school we are charges 3.3 percent of our earnings for taxes. 3 percent for the normal, and .3 for some special Gangnam tax. Does anyone know for sure if this is proper?

not unless you are making tons of money...

Taxes are NOT a flat rate percentage.

They are on a sliding scale based on your earning and allowable deductions (just like at home).

http://www.nts.go.kr/eng/help/help_52.asp?top_code=H001&sub_code=HS05&ssub_code=HSE2

input your salary in MAN won (2.1 mil = 2100 MAN won, 2.2 mil = 2200 MAN won).

You get out what your taxes SHOULD be.

If you are being flat rated at 3.3% then your boss is a cheat. You must be at a hakwon.
