Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $ 12,600 to pay you $ 252,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $1.19 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
11.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 6.9% tax rate now rises to 11.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

If you make $ 252,000 a year living in Hong Kong, you will be taxed $ 17,486. That means that your net pay will be $ 234,514 per year, or $ 19,543 per month. Your average tax rate is 6.9% and your marginal tax rate is 13.5%. 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 $13.5, hence, your net pay will only increase by $86.5.
