Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 7,154 元 to pay you 18,180 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 7.19 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
51.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 32.6% tax rate now rises to 51.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 19% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 218,160 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 71,021 元. That means that your net pay will be 147,139 元 per year, or 12,262 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 32.6% and your marginal tax rate is 38.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of 100 元 in your salary will be taxed 38 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 62 元.
Bonus Example
