Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,545 元 to pay you 48,876 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 5.09 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
41.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.3% tax rate now rises to 41.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 586,512 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 159,904 元. That means that your net pay will be 426,608 元 per year, or 35,551 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.3% and your marginal tax rate is 30.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
