Good to know

Who needs this calculator

People receiving a year-end or performance bonus, dividends or interest, rental income, professional income from freelancing, or part-time wages are often charged Taiwan's NHI supplementary premium. Estimating it first means your take-home won't surprise you.

How the 2.11% is charged

The rate is 2.11%, charged only when a single payment reaches NT$20,000 and capped at NT$10,000,000. Each of the six categories (large bonus, dividend, interest, rent, professional income, part-time wage) is assessed per single payment.

Tax and practical notes

The supplementary premium is withheld at source by the paying party and is separate from your annual income tax. The actual figure follows the NHIA's rules and the withholding party's calculation; this is an estimate only. When handling tax-inclusive amounts, cross-check with the invoice tax calculator.

Supplementary premium checks

Taiwan's NHI supplementary premium does not use one threshold for every income type. Pick the income type first, then check the payment, cap and exceptions.

Classify the income first

Common items include large bonuses, salary from a non-enrolling employer, professional income, dividends, interest and rent. Exemption rules differ by type, so one blanket rule is not enough.

Bonus uses the excess over 4x

For employee bonuses, the base is the cumulative bonus amount exceeding four times the monthly insured salary. Enter that excess, not the full bonus.

Caps and exemption thresholds

Most items are assessed per single payment and amounts above the cap are exempt. Part-time salary thresholds move with the minimum monthly wage, so the tool keeps the threshold editable.

Estimate, not final withholding

The final withholding follows NHIA rules, the withholding party's classification and your insured status. For payroll, dividends or rent, compare with the official withholding record.
