Real tax rate
34.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.4% tax rate now rises to 34.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 954,996 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 242,125 元. That means that your net pay will be 712,871 元 per year, or 59,406 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 25.4% and your marginal tax rate is 35.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
