Real tax rate
38.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 34.1% tax rate now rises to 38.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 1,885,008 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 642,983 元. That means that your net pay will be 1,242,025 元 per year, or 103,502 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 34.1% 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.
