Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 6,075 元 to pay you 17,438 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 6.32 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
46.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.3% tax rate now rises to 46.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 18.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 209,256 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 59,267 元. That means that your net pay will be 149,989 元 per year, or 12,499 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 28.3% and your marginal tax rate is 34.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of 100 元 in your salary will be taxed 34 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 66 元.
