Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 5,087 元 to pay you 14,600 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 6.19 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
45.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27% tax rate now rises to 45.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 18.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 175,200 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 47,336 元. That means that your net pay will be 127,864 元 per year, or 10,655 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.0% and your marginal tax rate is 41.3%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
