Real tax rate

Summary
If you make 492,960 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 139,995 元. That means that your net pay will be 352,965 元 per year, or 29,414 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. For instance, an increase of 100 元 in your salary will be taxed -17.87 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 118 元.
