Real tax rate
42.9%

Summary
If you make 6,059,040 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 2,521,297 元. That means that your net pay will be 3,537,743 元 per year, or 294,812 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 41.6% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
