Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,049 元 to pay you 246,827 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.23 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
40.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 37.8% tax rate now rises to 40.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 2,961,924 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 1,120,091 元. That means that your net pay will be 1,841,833 元 per year, or 153,486 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 37.8% 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.
