- 5,000 - 8,000 CNY: 3%
- 8,000 - 17,000 CNY: 10%
- 17,000 - 30,000 CNY: 20%
- 30,000 - 40,000 CNY: 25%
- 40,000 - 60,000 CNY: 30%
- 60,000 - 85,000 CNY: 35%
- Above 85,000 CNY: 45%
 
### Effective Tax Rate Calculation
Effective Tax Rate = Total Tax Amount ÷ Total Income × 100%
 
### Marginal Tax Rate
Marginal tax rate refers to the tax rate applied to an additional unit of income, usually equal to the highest tax bracket applicable to the current income level.
