Real tax rate
42.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 40.7% tax rate now rises to 42.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 4,823,520 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 1,965,313 元. That means that your net pay will be 2,858,207 元 per year, or 238,184 元 per month.
