Real tax rate
31.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 13.2% tax rate now rises to 31.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 18.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 18,468 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 2,435 元. That means that your net pay will be 16,033 元 per year, or 1,336 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 13.2% and your marginal tax rate is 13.2%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
