Real tax rate
32.1%

Summary
If you make 20,796 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 2,742 元. That means that your net pay will be 18,054 元 per year, or 1,505 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 13.2% and your marginal tax rate is 13.2%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
