Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 4,791 元 to pay you 13,750 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 6.10 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
45.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.1% tax rate now rises to 45.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 19.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 165,000 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 43,121 元. That means that your net pay will be 121,879 元 per year, or 10,157 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.1% 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.
