Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 4,379 元 to pay you 12,570 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 5.99 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
44.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25% tax rate now rises to 44.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 19.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 150,840 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 37,761 元. That means that your net pay will be 113,079 元 per year, or 9,423 元 per month.
