Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,545 元 to pay you 37,708 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 5.96 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
45.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29% tax rate now rises to 45.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 16.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 452,496 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 131,148 元. That means that your net pay will be 321,348 元 per year, or 26,779 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 29.0% and your marginal tax rate is 25.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
