Real tax rate
47.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.9% tax rate now rises to 47.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 20.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 48,984 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 13,167 元. That means that your net pay will be 35,817 元 per year, or 2,985 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.9% and your marginal tax rate is 58.6%. 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 58.56 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 41.44 元.
