Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 40.4% tax rate now rises to 42.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 4,432,480 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 1,789,345 元. That means that your net pay will be 2,643,135 元 per year, or 220,261 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 40.4% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. 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 45 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 55 元.
