Real tax rate
36.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29.6% tax rate now rises to 36.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 1,300,000 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 384,504 元. That means that your net pay will be 915,496 元 per year, or 76,291 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 29.6% 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.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 元 bonus will generate an extra 570 元 of net incomes. A 5,000 元 bonus will generate an extra 2,850 元 of net incomes.
