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 159,264 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 40,750 元. That means that your net pay will be 118,514 元 per year, or 9,876 元 per month.
