How this calculator works
- Social insurance and housing fund are estimated using city contribution rates and a capped contribution base (salary clamped to city minimum/maximum base).
- Resident IIT uses cumulative withholding (annual brackets and quick deduction, month-by-month). Non-resident IIT uses monthly brackets and monthly quick deduction.
- Monthly net salary = gross salary - employee social/housing contribution - IIT withholding.
- Total employer cost = gross salary + employer social/housing contribution.
