Real tax rate
28.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12.9% tax rate now rises to 28.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 15.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 16,800 元 a year living in the region of Guangzhou, China, you will be taxed 2,166 元. That means that your net pay will be 14,634 元 per year, or 1,219 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 12.9% and your marginal tax rate is 12.9%. 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 12.90 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 87.10 元.
