Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 10,010 元 to pay you 48,332 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.81 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
39.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.4% tax rate now rises to 39.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 579,984 元 a year living in the region of Guangzhou, China, you will be taxed 158,936 元. That means that your net pay will be 421,048 元 per year, or 35,087 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.4% and your marginal tax rate is 30.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
