Real tax rate
44.1%

Summary
If you make 493,320 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 139,930 元. That means that your net pay will be 353,390 元 per year, or 29,449 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 28.4% and your marginal tax rate is -17.9%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
