Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,545 元 to pay you 43,962 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 5.32 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
42.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27% tax rate now rises to 42.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 15.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 527,544 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 142,213 元. That means that your net pay will be 385,331 元 per year, or 32,111 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.0% and your marginal tax rate is 30.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
