Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 2,664 元 to pay you 10,498 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 5.24 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
41.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.1% tax rate now rises to 41.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 14.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 545,896 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 147,719 元. That means that your net pay will be 398,177 元 per year, or 33,181 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.1% 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.
