Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 10,307 元 to pay you 29,584 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 6.55 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
48.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.7% tax rate now rises to 48.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 17.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 355,008 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 108,823 元. That means that your net pay will be 246,185 元 per year, or 20,515 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 30.7% and your marginal tax rate is 34.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
