Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,049 元 to pay you 49,226 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.81 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
39.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.7% tax rate now rises to 39.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 590,712 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 151,613 元. That means that your net pay will be 439,099 元 per year, or 36,592 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 25.7% 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.
