Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,545 元 to pay you 509,999 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 41.6% tax rate now rises to 42.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 6,119,988 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 2,548,724 元. That means that your net pay will be 3,571,264 元 per year, or 297,605 元 per month.
