Real tax rate
42.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 41.3% tax rate now rises to 42.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 5,579,340 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 2,305,432 元. That means that your net pay will be 3,273,908 元 per year, or 272,826 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 41.3% 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.
