Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 66.60 元 to pay you 4,248 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.42 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
43.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 42.7% tax rate now rises to 43.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 8,835,840 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 3,770,857 元. That means that your net pay will be 5,064,983 元 per year, or 422,082 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 42.7% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of 100 元 in your salary will be taxed 45 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 55 元.
