Real tax rate
44.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.6% tax rate now rises to 44.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 19.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 158,904 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 40,602 元. That means that your net pay will be 118,302 元 per year, or 9,859 元 per month.
