Real tax rate
44.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.7% tax rate now rises to 44.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 15.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 488,004 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 140,025 元. That means that your net pay will be 347,979 元 per year, or 28,998 元 per month.
