Real tax rate
44.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 44.4% tax rate now rises to 44.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 37,680,000 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 16,743,225 元. That means that your net pay will be 20,936,775 元 per year, or 1,744,731 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 44.4% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
