Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,545 元 to pay you 38,307 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 5.91 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
45.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.9% tax rate now rises to 45.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 16.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 459,684 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 132,945 元. That means that your net pay will be 326,739 元 per year, or 27,228 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 28.9% and your marginal tax rate is 25.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
