Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $ 18,000 to pay you $ 1,125,024. In other words, every time you spend $ 10 of your hard-earned money, $ 1.63 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
16.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 14.7% tax rate now rises to 16.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $ 1,125,024 a year living in Hong Kong, you will be taxed $ 165,754. That means that your net pay will be $ 959,270 per year, or $ 79,939 per month.
