Real tax rate
34.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26% tax rate now rises to 34.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 1,021,656 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 265,456 元. That means that your net pay will be 756,200 元 per year, or 63,017 元 per month.
