Real tax rate
42.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 40.7% tax rate now rises to 42.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 4,979,520 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 2,028,009 元. That means that your net pay will be 2,951,511 元 per year, or 245,959 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 40.7% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
