Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,545 元 to pay you 40,001 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 5.76 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
44.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.8% tax rate now rises to 44.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 15.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 480,012 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 138,027 元. That means that your net pay will be 341,985 元 per year, or 28,499 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. 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.
