Real tax rate
44.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 43.8% tax rate now rises to 44.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.40000000000001% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 17,639,964 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 7,725,209 元. That means that your net pay will be 9,914,755 元 per year, or 826,230 元 per month.
