Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 6,333 元 to pay you 18,178 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 6.34 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
47.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.6% tax rate now rises to 47.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 18.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 218,136 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 62,286 元. That means that your net pay will be 155,850 元 per year, or 12,987 元 per month.
