Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 8,089 元 to pay you 20,556 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 7.25 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
52.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 33.2% tax rate now rises to 52.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 18.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 246,672 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 81,855 元. That means that your net pay will be 164,817 元 per year, or 13,735 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 33.2% and your marginal tax rate is 38.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
