Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,049 元 to pay you 40,690 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 5.20 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
40.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24.9% tax rate now rises to 40.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 16% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 488,280 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 121,479 元. That means that your net pay will be 366,801 元 per year, or 30,567 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 24.9% 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 -4.63 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 105 元.
