Real tax rate
44.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 44.2% tax rate now rises to 44.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 26,637,600 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 11,774,145 元. That means that your net pay will be 14,863,455 元 per year, or 1,238,621 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 44.2% 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.
