Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 43.9% tax rate now rises to 44.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 18,540,000 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 8,130,225 元. That means that your net pay will be 10,409,775 元 per year, or 867,481 元 per month.
