Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,545 元 to pay you 493,380 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.39 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
42.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 41.5% tax rate now rises to 42.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 5,920,560 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 2,458,981 元. That means that your net pay will be 3,461,579 元 per year, or 288,465 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 41.5% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. 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 45 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 55 元.
