Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 10,010 元 to pay you 40,733 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 5.35 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
42.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.9% tax rate now rises to 42.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 14% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 488,796 元 a year living in the region of Guangzhou, China, you will be taxed 141,284 元. That means that your net pay will be 347,512 元 per year, or 28,959 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 28.9% and your marginal tax rate is 25.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
