Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 717 元 to pay you 2,570 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.11 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
32.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 13.2% tax rate now rises to 32.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 19% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 30,840 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 4,085 元. That means that your net pay will be 26,755 元 per year, or 2,230 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 13.3% and your marginal tax rate is 60.2%. 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 60.19 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 39.81 元.
