Real tax rate

Summary
If you make 29,940 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 6,928 元. That means that your net pay will be 23,012 元 per year, or 1,918 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 23.1% and your marginal tax rate is 83.5%. 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 83.48 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 16.52 元.
