Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 10,010 元 to pay you 490,000 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.36 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
42.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 41.5% tax rate now rises to 42.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 5,880,000 元 a year living in the region of Guangzhou, China, you will be taxed 2,441,508 元. That means that your net pay will be 3,438,492 元 per year, or 286,541 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 41.5% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
