Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 10,010 元 to pay you 208,000 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.16 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
39.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 36.8% tax rate now rises to 39.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 2,496,000 元 a year living in the region of Guangzhou, China, you will be taxed 918,708 元. That means that your net pay will be 1,577,292 元 per year, or 131,441 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 36.8% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
