Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,545 元 to pay you 42,401 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 5.42 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
42.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27% tax rate now rises to 42.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 15.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 508,812 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 137,162 元. That means that your net pay will be 371,650 元 per year, or 30,971 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.0% and your marginal tax rate is -17.9%. 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 -17.86 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 118 元.
