Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $ 18,000 to pay you $ 1,739,996. In other words, every time you spend $ 10 of your hard-earned money, $ 1.66 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
16.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 15.5% tax rate now rises to 16.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $ 1,739,996 a year living in Hong Kong, you will be taxed $ 270,299. That means that your net pay will be $ 1,469,697 per year, or $ 122,475 per month. Your average tax rate is 15.5% and your marginal tax rate is 17.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
