how much of a pension contribution do you make each month? My salary is W2.33 mil / month and i pay W120,000 per month towards my pension. Doesn't that seem high?

If that is your GROSS salary, yes, it is high.

For your bracket the pension contribution is 108,000 won.

If your school is matching, then you are benefiting. Keep quiet about it.

edit: assuming you get your pension back later (Canadian/American)

edit 2 ; ooops, Canuck Teacher (keep quiet) Very Happy

ttonpatz is right. The same thing happened to me and when I checked with the pension office it turned out my boss had only reported my income as a little over half of what it was. He was taking the full amount out of my pay so he wouldn't have to contribute. You should give the pension office a call and check what your salary is being reported as.
