Real tax rate
33.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22.1% tax rate now rises to 33.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 768,000 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 169,384 元. That means that your net pay will be 598,616 元 per year, or 49,885 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 22.1% and your marginal tax rate is -43.8%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
