Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 10,010 元 to pay you 170,001 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.09 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
38.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 35% tax rate now rises to 38.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 2,040,012 元 a year living in the region of Guangzhou, China, you will be taxed 713,513 元. That means that your net pay will be 1,326,499 元 per year, or 110,542 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 35.0% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
