Real tax rate
42.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 41.7% tax rate now rises to 42.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 6,499,620 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 2,712,054 元. That means that your net pay will be 3,787,566 元 per year, or 315,630 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 41.7% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
