Real tax rate
44.5%

Summary
If you make 488,160 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 140,064 元. That means that your net pay will be 348,096 元 per year, or 29,008 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 28.7% and your marginal tax rate is 25.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
