Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 66.60 元 to pay you 1,556 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.29 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
41.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 38.7% tax rate now rises to 41.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 3,236,480 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 1,251,145 元. That means that your net pay will be 1,985,335 元 per year, or 165,445 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 38.7% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
