Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,545 元 to pay you 44,677 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 5.28 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 536,124 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 144,787 元. That means that your net pay will be 391,337 元 per year, or 32,611 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.
