Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 6,708 元 to pay you 17,048 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 7.15 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
51.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 32.1% tax rate now rises to 51.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 19.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 204,576 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 65,686 元. That means that your net pay will be 138,890 元 per year, or 11,574 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 32.1% and your marginal tax rate is 50.1%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
