Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 1,078 元 to pay you 3,093 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 5.48 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
40.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20% tax rate now rises to 40.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 20.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 37,116 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 7,414 元. That means that your net pay will be 29,702 元 per year, or 2,475 元 per month.
