Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 4,997 元 to pay you 15,000 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 6.27 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
47.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29.4% tax rate now rises to 47.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 17.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 180,000 元 a year living in the region of Guangzhou, China, you will be taxed 52,884 元. That means that your net pay will be 127,116 元 per year, or 10,593 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 29.4% and your marginal tax rate is 50.1%. 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 50.08 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 49.92 元.
