Real tax rate
36.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.3% tax rate now rises to 36.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 1,555,056 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 487,001 元. That means that your net pay will be 1,068,055 元 per year, or 89,005 元 per month.
