Real tax rate
48.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28% tax rate now rises to 48.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 20.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 50,736 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 14,193 元. That means that your net pay will be 36,543 元 per year, or 3,045 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 28.0% and your marginal tax rate is 58.6%. 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 58.56 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 41.44 元.
