Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 11,049 元 to pay you 87,917 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 3.74 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
33.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24.8% tax rate now rises to 33.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 1,055,004 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 261,977 元. That means that your net pay will be 793,027 元 per year, or 66,086 元 per month. Your average tax rate is 24.8% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
