Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 10,010 元 to pay you 56,534 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.55 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
38.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.8% tax rate now rises to 38.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 678,408 元 a year living in the region of Guangzhou, China, you will be taxed 188,463 元. That means that your net pay will be 489,945 元 per year, or 40,829 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.8% and your marginal tax rate is 30.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
