Assuming no bonus, a 4k monthly (hence 48k annual) will put the person at "higher than 45.8% of all resident taxpayers."

So if both husband and wife make 4k, there are more than 50% households earning more than 8k. And I think the Iras data (and the above mentioned comparison tool) does not even include the people earning below 20k/year.
Yeah. And HDB is always saying, "majority" of Singapore households qualify for HDB flats and loans. I really wonder where they get THEIR data from. Many of my peers are in the same situation as I am.
