Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 7,066 元 to pay you 20,280 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 6.40 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
47.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29.1% tax rate now rises to 47.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 18.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 243,360 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 70,862 元. That means that your net pay will be 172,498 元 per year, or 14,375 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 29.1% 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.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 元 bonus will generate an extra 660 元 of net incomes. A 5,000 元 bonus will generate an extra 3,300 元 of net incomes.
