Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,049 元 to pay you 52,866 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.69 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
38.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26% tax rate now rises to 38.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 634,392 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 164,717 元. That means that your net pay will be 469,675 元 per year, or 39,140 元 per month.
