Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $ 371 to pay you $ 83,500. In other words, every time you spend $ 10 of your hard-earned money, $ 0.09 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
0.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 0.4% tax rate now rises to 0.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $ 83,500 a year living in Hong Kong, you will be taxed $ 371. That means that your net pay will be $ 83,129 per year, or $ 6,927 per month. Your average tax rate is 0.4% and your marginal tax rate is 74.2%. 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 $ 74.17, hence, your net pay will only increase by $ 25.83.
