Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 43.9% tax rate now rises to 44.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 18,000,012 元 a year living in the region of Guangzhou, China, you will be taxed 7,895,513 元. That means that your net pay will be 10,104,499 元 per year, or 842,042 元 per month.
