Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,049 元 to pay you 44,720 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.99 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
40.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.2% tax rate now rises to 40.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 14.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 536,640 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 135,392 元. That means that your net pay will be 401,248 元 per year, or 33,437 元 per month.
