Real tax rate
38.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 34.1% tax rate now rises to 38.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 1,946,880 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 663,321 元. That means that your net pay will be 1,283,559 元 per year, or 106,963 元 per month.
