Real tax rate
34.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.9% tax rate now rises to 34.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 1,174,992 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 315,972 元. That means that your net pay will be 859,020 元 per year, or 71,585 元 per month.
