Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 2,664 元 to pay you 9,385 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 5.71 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
44.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.7% tax rate now rises to 44.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 15.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 488,020 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 140,029 元. That means that your net pay will be 347,991 元 per year, or 28,999 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 28.7% and your marginal tax rate is 25.0%. 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 25 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 75 元.
