Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 1,308 元 to pay you 3,754 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 5.76 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
42.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22.8% tax rate now rises to 42.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 20% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 45,048 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 10,275 元. That means that your net pay will be 34,773 元 per year, or 2,898 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 22.8% and your marginal tax rate is 51.5%. 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 51.51 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 48.49 元.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 元 bonus will generate an extra 485 元 of net incomes. A 5,000 元 bonus will generate an extra 2,425 元 of net incomes.
