Real tax rate
40.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 38.2% tax rate now rises to 40.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 3,015,912 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 1,151,890 元. That means that your net pay will be 1,864,022 元 per year, or 155,335 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 38.2% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of 100 元 in your salary will be taxed 45 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 55 元.
