Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 8,710 元 to pay you 24,999 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 6.49 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
48.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30% tax rate now rises to 48.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 18.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 299,988 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 90,116 元. That means that your net pay will be 209,872 元 per year, or 17,489 元 per month.
