Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 10,010 元 to pay you 49,168 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.78 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
39.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.4% tax rate now rises to 39.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 590,016 元 a year living in the region of Guangzhou, China, you will be taxed 161,945 元. That means that your net pay will be 428,071 元 per year, or 35,673 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.5% and your marginal tax rate is 30.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
