Real tax rate
42.4%

Summary
If you make 4,919,988 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 2,008,724 元. That means that your net pay will be 2,911,264 元 per year, or 242,605 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 40.8% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
