Real tax rate
38.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.4% tax rate now rises to 38.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 710,004 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 187,401 元. That means that your net pay will be 522,603 元 per year, or 43,550 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.4% and your marginal tax rate is 30.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
