Real tax rate
44.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 44.5% tax rate now rises to 44.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 42,480,000 元 a year living in the region of Guangzhou, China, you will be taxed 18,911,508 元. That means that your net pay will be 23,568,492 元 per year, or 1,964,041 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 44.5% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of 100 元 in your salary will be taxed 45 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 55 元.
