Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $ 6,720 to pay you $ 134,400. In other words, every time you spend $ 10 of your hard-earned money, $ 1.01 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
9.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 5.1% tax rate now rises to 9.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $ 134,400 a year living in Hong Kong, you will be taxed $ 6,814. That means that your net pay will be $ 127,586 per year, or $ 10,632 per month. Your average tax rate is 5.1% and your marginal tax rate is 5.6%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of $ 100 in your salary will be taxed $ 5.57, hence, your net pay will only increase by $ 94.43.
