Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 7,186 元 to pay you 20,626 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
47.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29.2% tax rate now rises to 47.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 18.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 247,512 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 72,274 元. That means that your net pay will be 175,238 元 per year, or 14,603 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 29.2% 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.
