Real tax rate

Summary
If you make 2,409,940 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 879,202 元. That means that your net pay will be 1,530,738 元 per year, or 127,561 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 36.5% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. 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 45 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 55 元.
