Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 7,366 元 to pay you 18,720 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 7.21 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
51.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 32.7% tax rate now rises to 51.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 19% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 224,640 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 73,483 元. That means that your net pay will be 151,157 元 per year, or 12,596 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 32.7% 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
A 1,000 元 bonus will generate an extra 620 元 of net incomes. A 5,000 元 bonus will generate an extra 3,100 元 of net incomes.
