Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 10,010 元 to pay you 60,000 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.46 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
38.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.9% tax rate now rises to 38.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 720,000 元 a year living in the region of Guangzhou, China, you will be taxed 200,941 元. That means that your net pay will be 519,059 元 per year, or 43,255 元 per month.
