Real tax rate
44.3%
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 19,020,000 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 8,346,225 元. That means that your net pay will be 10,673,775 元 per year, or 889,481 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 43.9% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
