Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,049 元 to pay you 40,833 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 5.18 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
40.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24.8% tax rate now rises to 40.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 16% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 489,996 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 121,400 元. That means that your net pay will be 368,596 元 per year, or 30,716 元 per month.
