Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $ 1,483 to pay you $ 85,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $0.35 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
3.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 1.7% tax rate now rises to 3.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

If you make $ 85,000 a year living in Hong Kong, you will be taxed $ 1,483. That means that your net pay will be $ 83,517 per year, or $ 6,960 per month. Your average tax rate is 1.7% 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 $74.2, hence, your net pay will only increase by $25.8.
