Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,545 元 to pay you 46,388 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 5.20 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
41.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.1% tax rate now rises to 41.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 14.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 556,656 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 150,947 元. That means that your net pay will be 405,709 元 per year, or 33,809 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.1% and your marginal tax rate is 30.0%. 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 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 70 元.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 元 bonus will generate an extra 700 元 of net incomes. A 5,000 元 bonus will generate an extra 3,500 元 of net incomes.
