Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,545 元 to pay you 70,001 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.05 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
34.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24% tax rate now rises to 34.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 840,012 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 201,881 元. That means that your net pay will be 638,131 元 per year, or 53,178 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 24.0% and your marginal tax rate is 35.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
