Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,049 元 to pay you 78,000 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 3.84 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
33.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24.2% tax rate now rises to 33.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 936,000 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 226,608 元. That means that your net pay will be 709,392 元 per year, or 59,116 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 24.2% 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.
