Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 950 元 to pay you 2,875 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 5.13 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
38.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 18.2% tax rate now rises to 38.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 20.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 34,500 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 6,288 元. That means that your net pay will be 28,212 元 per year, or 2,351 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 18.2% 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.
Bonus Example
