Real tax rate
32.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 13.2% tax rate now rises to 32.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 18.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 12,120 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 1,598 元. That means that your net pay will be 10,522 元 per year, or 877 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 13.2% and your marginal tax rate is 13.2%. 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 13.19 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 86.81 元.
