Basic Knowledge of Personal Income Tax
Personal income tax (PIT) is a tax levied by the state on various incomes obtained by individuals. For wage and salary income, the tax is usually calculated by subtracting "various social insurance premiums" and "basic deduction expenses" (i.e., the so-called "tax threshold", currently 5000 yuan/month) from the "pre-tax salary", and then calculating the tax based on the remaining "taxable income" against the progressive tax rate table. This tool is based on this principle for reverse deduction, helping users understand the salary structure from after-tax to pre-tax and conduct individual income tax inquiries.
Difference Between After-tax Salary and Pre-tax Salary
Pre-tax salary refers to the total remuneration paid by an employer to an employee, including personal social insurance premiums, housing provident fund, and personal income tax. After-tax salary (or net salary) is the amount actually paid to the employee after these statutory deductions have been made from the pre-tax salary. Understanding the difference between after-tax salary and pre-tax salary is of great significance for individuals to conduct financial planning, reasonable tax avoidance, and comprehensive evaluation of compensation benefits.
