Real tax rate

Summary
If you make 4,166,240 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 1,669,537 元. That means that your net pay will be 2,496,703 元 per year, or 208,059 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 40.1% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
