Real tax rate
44.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.2% tax rate now rises to 44.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 19.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 154,992 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 38,985 元. That means that your net pay will be 116,007 元 per year, or 9,667 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 25.2% and your marginal tax rate is 41.3%. 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 41.33 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 58.67 元.
