Real tax rate

Summary
If you make 9,649,120 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 4,136,833 元. That means that your net pay will be 5,512,287 元 per year, or 459,357 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 42.9% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
