FAQ
How is net (take-home) pay calculated in China?
Net pay = gross salary − employee social insurance − employee housing fund − individual income tax (IIT). This tool applies the cumulative withholding method month by month.
How much do employees pay for social insurance?
Typically pension 8%, medical 2%, unemployment 0.3%~0.5%, plus housing fund 5%–12%. Work injury and maternity insurance are fully employer-funded.
What is the cumulative withholding method?
IIT is computed on cumulative taxable income over the year using progressive brackets, so the effective rate rises through the year rather than a flat monthly calculation.
Which special deductions are available?
Children's education, continuing education, serious medical expenses, housing loan interest, housing rent, elderly support, infant care under 3, and private pension.
