Summary
If you make $ 150,627 a year living in Hong Kong, you will be taxed $ 7,753. That means that your net pay will be $ 142,874 per year, or $ 11,906 per month. Your average tax rate is 5.2% and your marginal tax rate is 6.9%. 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 $ 6.90, hence, your net pay will only increase by $ 93.10.
