Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 10,010 元 to pay you 1,295,000 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.45 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
44.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 43.7% tax rate now rises to 44.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 15,540,000 元 a year living in the region of Guangzhou, China, you will be taxed 6,788,508 元. That means that your net pay will be 8,751,492 元 per year, or 729,291 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 43.7% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. 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 45 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 55 元.
