Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,049 元 to pay you 125,417 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 3.97 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
36.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.9% tax rate now rises to 36.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 1,505,004 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 464,477 元. That means that your net pay will be 1,040,527 元 per year, or 86,711 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 30.9% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. 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.
