Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 1,451 元 to pay you 4,355 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 6.12 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
45.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.9% tax rate now rises to 45.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 18% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 52,260 元 a year living in the region of Guangzhou, China, you will be taxed 14,588 元. That means that your net pay will be 37,672 元 per year, or 3,139 元 per month.
