Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 1,249 元 to pay you 3,173 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 6.89 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
49.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29.6% tax rate now rises to 49.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 19.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 164,996 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 48,831 元. That means that your net pay will be 116,165 元 per year, or 9,680 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 29.6% and your marginal tax rate is 30.3%. 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 30.25 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 69.75 元.
Bonus Example
