Real tax rate
44.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 43.6% tax rate now rises to 44.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 14,820,000 元 a year living in the region of Guangzhou, China, you will be taxed 6,464,508 元. That means that your net pay will be 8,355,492 元 per year, or 696,291 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 43.6% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
