Real tax rate

Summary
If you make 6,180,000 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 2,575,729 元. That means that your net pay will be 3,604,271 元 per year, or 300,356 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 41.7% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
