Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,049 元 to pay you 47,147 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.89 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
39.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.5% tax rate now rises to 39.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 14.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 565,764 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 144,129 元. That means that your net pay will be 421,635 元 per year, or 35,136 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 25.5% and your marginal tax rate is 30.0%. 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 30 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 70 元.
