Real tax rate
34.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.2% tax rate now rises to 34.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 1,040,000 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 272,677 元. That means that your net pay will be 767,323 元 per year, or 63,944 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.2% and your marginal tax rate is 43.0%. 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 43.01 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 56.99 元.
