Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 1,794 元 to pay you 4,558 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 6.76 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
48.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.3% tax rate now rises to 48.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 20.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 54,696 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 15,466 元. That means that your net pay will be 39,230 元 per year, or 3,269 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 28.3% and your marginal tax rate is 30.3%. 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 30.25 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 69.75 元.
