Real tax rate
42.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 40.9% tax rate now rises to 42.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 4,989,048 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 2,039,801 元. That means that your net pay will be 2,949,247 元 per year, or 245,771 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 40.9% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
