Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 4,164 元 to pay you 12,500 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 6.26 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
46.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29.3% tax rate now rises to 46.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 17.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 150,000 元 a year living in the region of Guangzhou, China, you will be taxed 43,890 元. That means that your net pay will be 106,110 元 per year, or 8,843 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 29.3% 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 29.98 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 70.02 元.
