Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 10,010 元 to pay you 1,700,000 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.46 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
44.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 44% tax rate now rises to 44.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 20,400,000 元 a year living in the region of Guangzhou, China, you will be taxed 8,975,508 元. That means that your net pay will be 11,424,492 元 per year, or 952,041 元 per month.
