Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 5,772 元 to pay you 29,982 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.70 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
39.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.8% tax rate now rises to 39.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 719,568 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 199,820 元. That means that your net pay will be 519,748 元 per year, or 43,312 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.8% and your marginal tax rate is 30.0%. 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 30 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 70 元.
