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 300,048 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 90,136 元. That means that your net pay will be 209,912 元 per year, or 17,493 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 30.0% and your marginal tax rate is 34.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
