Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,049 元 to pay you 40,002 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 5.30 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
41.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.4% tax rate now rises to 41.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 16.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 480,024 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 121,862 元. That means that your net pay will be 358,162 元 per year, or 29,847 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 25.4% and your marginal tax rate is -4.6%. 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 -4.64 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 105 元.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 元 bonus will generate an extra 1,046 元 of net incomes. A 5,000 元 bonus will generate an extra 5,232 元 of net incomes.
