Real tax rate
48.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.3% tax rate now rises to 48.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 20.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 55,524 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 15,716 元. That means that your net pay will be 39,808 元 per year, or 3,317 元 per month.
