How is take-home pay calculated in China?

We start with your gross salary, apply the China personal allowance and any standard deductions, run the result through the 2025 progressive income tax brackets, then subtract mandatory employee social-security and equivalent contributions. The number left is your annual and monthly net pay.

Does this include social security and other payroll deductions in China?

Yes. The China calculator models employee-side social security, pension, health, and any solidarity or surcharge components that apply to wages. Employer-side contributions are excluded because they don't reduce your take-home pay.

Is the China calculator accurate for my situation?

It's a single-filer wage estimate that uses official 2025 rates. Your actual tax can differ based on filing status, dependants, regional or municipal taxes, salary-sacrifice arrangements, capital gains, and other personal credits. Treat the result as a strong first estimate, not tax advice.

What's the effective tax rate on a ¥100,000 salary in China?

At ¥100,000 gross per year, the model returns an effective tax-and-social-security rate of about 0.9% and a marginal rate of about 3.0% — leaving roughly ¥88,615 as annual take-home. Enter your own salary above for a tailored breakdown.
