Real tax rate
42.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 40.3% tax rate now rises to 42.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 4,349,388 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 1,751,954 元. That means that your net pay will be 2,597,434 元 per year, or 216,453 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 40.3% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
