Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 2,664 元 to pay you 24,480 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.02 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
36.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29.3% tax rate now rises to 36.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 1,272,960 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 372,874 元. That means that your net pay will be 900,086 元 per year, or 75,007 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 29.3% and your marginal tax rate is 43.0%. 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 43.01 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 56.99 元.
