Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 1,278 元 to pay you 3,249 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 6.42 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
46.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24.8% tax rate now rises to 46.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 21.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 38,988 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 9,679 元. That means that your net pay will be 29,309 元 per year, or 2,442 元 per month.
