Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,049 元 to pay you 163,504 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.09 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
38.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 34.2% tax rate now rises to 38.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 1,962,048 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 670,147 元. That means that your net pay will be 1,291,901 元 per year, or 107,658 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 34.2% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
