Real tax rate
42.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 40.5% tax rate now rises to 42.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 4,513,860 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 1,825,966 元. That means that your net pay will be 2,687,894 元 per year, or 223,991 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 40.5% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
