Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,545 元 to pay you 32,858 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 6.47 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
47.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29.6% tax rate now rises to 47.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 18.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 394,296 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 116,598 元. That means that your net pay will be 277,698 元 per year, or 23,142 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 29.6% and your marginal tax rate is 25.0%. 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 25 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 75 元.
