Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $ 8,031 to pay you $ 160,616. In other words, every time you spend $ 10 of your hard-earned money, $ 1.03 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
9.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 5.3% tax rate now rises to 9.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $ 160,616 a year living in Hong Kong, you will be taxed $ 8,443. That means that your net pay will be $ 152,174 per year, or $ 12,681 per month. Your average tax rate is 5.3% 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.
