Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 10,010 元 to pay you 44,690 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.96 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
40.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.2% tax rate now rises to 40.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 536,280 元 a year living in the region of Guangzhou, China, you will be taxed 145,825 元. That means that your net pay will be 390,455 元 per year, or 32,538 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.2% and your marginal tax rate is 30.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
