Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,049 元 to pay you 439,400 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.35 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
42.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 41% tax rate now rises to 42.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 5,272,800 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 2,159,985 元. That means that your net pay will be 3,112,815 元 per year, or 259,401 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 41.0% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
