Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,545 元 to pay you 39,598 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 5.79 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
44.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.8% tax rate now rises to 44.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 16.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 475,176 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 136,818 元. That means that your net pay will be 338,358 元 per year, or 28,197 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 28.8% and your marginal tax rate is 25.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
