Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,049 元 to pay you 40,530 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 5.23 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
41.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25% tax rate now rises to 41.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 16.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 486,360 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 121,568 元. That means that your net pay will be 364,792 元 per year, or 30,399 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 25.0% and your marginal tax rate is -4.6%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
