Real tax rate
40.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 37.9% tax rate now rises to 40.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 2,999,880 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 1,137,171 元. That means that your net pay will be 1,862,709 元 per year, or 155,226 元 per month.
