Real tax rate
33.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.2% tax rate now rises to 33.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 855,144 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 198,309 元. That means that your net pay will be 656,835 元 per year, or 54,736 元 per month.
