Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,545 元 to pay you 44,583 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 5.29 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
42.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27% tax rate now rises to 42.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 15% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 534,996 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 144,449 元. That means that your net pay will be 390,547 元 per year, or 32,546 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.
