Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,049 元 to pay you 210,000 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.18 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
39.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 36.6% tax rate now rises to 39.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 2,520,000 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 921,225 元. That means that your net pay will be 1,598,775 元 per year, or 133,231 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 36.6% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. 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 45 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 55 元.
