Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,545 元 to pay you 481,000 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.38 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
42.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 41.4% tax rate now rises to 42.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 5,772,000 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 2,392,129 元. That means that your net pay will be 3,379,871 元 per year, or 281,656 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 41.4% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
