This English page translates the Korean guide for foreign spouse, overseas parent, child, and additional dependent deductions, including the tax saving and health-insurance side effect.

Spouse and dependent deduction tests

The Korean model keeps the KRW 1.5 million basic deduction per eligible person. For a foreign spouse, the calculator checks domestic residency, visa status, income type, annual income amount, and earned-income salary threshold before applying the spouse deduction.

Overseas parents are not counted automatically. The model separately asks for remittance proof and income eligibility because Korean year-end settlement requires evidence that the overseas dependent actually meets support and income requirements.

Children and additional deductions

Children under age 20 affect basic personal deduction, while children age 8 or older can affect child tax credit. Birth or adoption credits are handled separately by birth order, so one newborn can create a different credit amount from ordinary child credit.

Senior, disabled, female-worker, and single-parent additions are layered on top of the basic deduction. The calculator therefore compares the tax before and after the whole dependent package instead of multiplying headcount by one number.

Health-insurance impact

Adding a spouse as a tax dependent does not always mean the health-insurance result is neutral. The calculator shows taxpayer monthly premium, spouse current monthly premium, spouse employed premium, and the monthly difference.

Use the result before year-end settlement when the spouse has small business income, intermittent employment, or overseas-family support documentation. Tax savings can be offset by health-insurance or documentation problems if the facts are not aligned.
