Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 533 元 to pay you 2,085 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 5.26 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
41.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27% tax rate now rises to 41.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 14.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 542,100 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 146,580 元. That means that your net pay will be 395,520 元 per year, or 32,960 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.0% and your marginal tax rate is 30.0%. 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 30 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 70 元.
Bonus Example
