Real tax rate
38.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 33.2% tax rate now rises to 38.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 1,744,992 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 579,976 元. That means that your net pay will be 1,165,016 元 per year, or 97,085 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 33.2% 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.
