Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,545 元 to pay you 50,488 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 5.02 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
40.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.4% tax rate now rises to 40.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 605,856 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 165,707 元. That means that your net pay will be 440,149 元 per year, or 36,679 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.4% 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
