Real tax rate
44.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.5% tax rate now rises to 44.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 19.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 158,244 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 40,329 元. That means that your net pay will be 117,915 元 per year, or 9,826 元 per month.
