Real tax rate
39.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 18.8% tax rate now rises to 39.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 20.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 34,992 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 6,584 元. That means that your net pay will be 28,408 元 per year, or 2,367 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 18.8% 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.
