Real tax rate
42.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 41.5% tax rate now rises to 42.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 5,898,456 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 2,449,034 元. That means that your net pay will be 3,449,422 元 per year, or 287,452 元 per month.
