Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 8,241 元 to pay you 20,943 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 7.26 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
52.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 33.3% tax rate now rises to 52.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 18.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 251,316 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 83,620 元. That means that your net pay will be 167,696 元 per year, or 13,975 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 33.3% 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.
