Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 5,829 元 to pay you 17,500 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 6.54 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
49.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 32.1% tax rate now rises to 49.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 17% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 210,000 元 a year living in the region of Guangzhou, China, you will be taxed 67,416 元. That means that your net pay will be 142,584 元 per year, or 11,882 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 32.1% and your marginal tax rate is 37.8%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
