Real tax rate
51.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 32.4% tax rate now rises to 51.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 19.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 212,292 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 68,791 元. That means that your net pay will be 143,501 元 per year, or 11,958 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 32.4% and your marginal tax rate is 38.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
