How to Use the IRP Tax Credit Limit Calculator

Korea's Individual Retirement Pension (IRP) offers a direct tax credit on contributions. The combined IRP + pension savings credit limit is ₩9 million/year. Pension savings alone are capped at ₩6 million; adding an IRP account extends the limit to ₩9 million. The credit rate is 16.5% (income ≤ ₩55M) or 13.2% (income > ₩55M).

At maximum ₩9 million contribution: refund of ₩1,485,000 (at 16.5%) or ₩1,188,000 (at 13.2%). This makes IRP one of the most effective tax-saving tools available in Korea — effectively a guaranteed return on top of investment growth inside the account.
