Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 138,534 元 to pay you 800,000 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.08 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
34.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.5% tax rate now rises to 34.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 800,000 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 187,876 元. That means that your net pay will be 612,124 元 per year, or 51,010 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 23.5% and your marginal tax rate is 35.0%. 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 35 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 65 元.
