Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 1,328 元 to pay you 3,813 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 5.81 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
43.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.3% tax rate now rises to 43.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 19.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 45,756 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 10,639 元. That means that your net pay will be 35,117 元 per year, or 2,926 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 23.3% 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 51.50 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 48.50 元.
