Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,545 元 to pay you 385,000 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.36 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
42.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 40.6% tax rate now rises to 42.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 4,620,000 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 1,873,729 元. That means that your net pay will be 2,746,271 元 per year, or 228,856 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 40.6% 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.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 元 bonus will generate an extra 550 元 of net incomes. A 5,000 元 bonus will generate an extra 2,750 元 of net incomes.
