Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,545 元 to pay you 41,250 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 5.62 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
43.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.2% tax rate now rises to 43.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 15.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 495,000 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 139,630 元. That means that your net pay will be 355,370 元 per year, or 29,614 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 28.2% and your marginal tax rate is -17.9%. 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 -17.87 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 118 元.
