Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 10,010 元 to pay you 85,000 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 3.78 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
33.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.1% tax rate now rises to 33.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 1,020,000 元 a year living in the region of Guangzhou, China, you will be taxed 265,796 元. That means that your net pay will be 754,204 元 per year, or 62,850 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.1% and your marginal tax rate is 35.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of 100 元 in your salary will be taxed 35 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 65 元.
