Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,049 元 to pay you 340,830 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.30 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
41.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 39.8% tax rate now rises to 41.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 4,089,960 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 1,627,707 元. That means that your net pay will be 2,462,253 元 per year, or 205,188 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 39.8% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
