Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,545 元 to pay you 40,416 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 5.73 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
44.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.7% tax rate now rises to 44.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 15.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 484,992 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 139,272 元. That means that your net pay will be 345,720 元 per year, or 28,810 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 28.7% 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.
