Real tax rate
46.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.5% tax rate now rises to 46.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 17.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 72,012 元 a year living in the region of Guangzhou, China, you will be taxed 20,509 元. That means that your net pay will be 51,503 元 per year, or 4,292 元 per month.
