Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 6,424 元 to pay you 18,438 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 6.35 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
47.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.6% tax rate now rises to 47.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 18.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 221,256 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 63,347 元. That means that your net pay will be 157,909 元 per year, or 13,159 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 28.6% 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.
