Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 7,277 元 to pay you 20,887 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 6.41 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
47.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29.3% tax rate now rises to 47.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 18.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 250,644 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 73,339 元. That means that your net pay will be 177,305 元 per year, or 14,775 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 29.3% 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.
Bonus Example
