Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 9,000 元 to pay you 25,833 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 6.50 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
48.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.2% tax rate now rises to 48.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 18% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 309,996 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 93,519 元. That means that your net pay will be 216,477 元 per year, or 18,040 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 30.2% and your marginal tax rate is 34.0%. 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 34 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 66 元.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 元 bonus will generate an extra 660 元 of net incomes. A 5,000 元 bonus will generate an extra 3,300 元 of net incomes.
