Real tax rate
43.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 43.2% tax rate now rises to 43.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.59999999999999% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 11,820,000 元 a year living in the region of Shanghai, China, you will be taxed 5,106,225 元. That means that your net pay will be 6,713,775 元 per year, or 559,481 元 per month.
