Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,049 元 to pay you 72,917 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 3.86 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
33.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.5% tax rate now rises to 33.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 875,004 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 205,260 元. That means that your net pay will be 669,744 元 per year, or 55,812 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 23.5% and your marginal tax rate is 35.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of 100 元 in your salary will be taxed 35 元, hence, your net pay will only increase by 65 元.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 元 bonus will generate an extra 650 元 of net incomes. A 5,000 元 bonus will generate an extra 3,250 元 of net incomes.
