Real tax rate
40.0%

Summary
If you make 2,437,240 元 a year living in the region of Beijing, China, you will be taxed 891,487 元. That means that your net pay will be 1,545,753 元 per year, or 128,813 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 36.6% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
