Real tax rate
42.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27% tax rate now rises to 42.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 15.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 532,480 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 143,694 元. That means that your net pay will be 388,786 元 per year, or 32,399 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.0% and your marginal tax rate is 30.0%. 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 30 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 70 元.
Bonus Example
