Real tax rate
40.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.1% tax rate now rises to 40.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 524,160 元 a year living in the region of Guangzhou, China, you will be taxed 142,189 元. That means that your net pay will be 381,971 元 per year, or 31,831 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.1% and your marginal tax rate is 30.0%. 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 30 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 70 元.
