Real tax rate
46.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.4% tax rate now rises to 46.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 18.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 179,916 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 49,285 元. That means that your net pay will be 130,631 元 per year, or 10,886 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.4% and your marginal tax rate is 40.2%. 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 40.15 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 59.85 元.
