Real tax rate
39.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.5% tax rate now rises to 39.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 590,724 元 a year living in the region of Guangzhou, China, you will be taxed 162,158 元. That means that your net pay will be 428,566 元 per year, or 35,714 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.
