Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 10,010 元 to pay you 54,000 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.62 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
39.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.7% tax rate now rises to 39.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 648,000 元 a year living in the region of Guangzhou, China, you will be taxed 179,341 元. That means that your net pay will be 468,659 元 per year, or 39,055 元 per month.
