Real tax rate

Summary
If you make 6,499,620 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 2,719,558 元. That means that your net pay will be 3,780,062 元 per year, or 315,005 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 41.8% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
