Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $ 35 to pay you $ 700. In other words, every time you spend $ 10 of your hard-earned money, $ 1.05 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
10.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 5.5% tax rate now rises to 10.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $ 182,000 a year living in Hong Kong, you will be taxed $ 10,016. That means that your net pay will be $ 171,984 per year, or $ 14,332 per month. Your average tax rate is 5.5% and your marginal tax rate is 8.9%. 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 $ 8.85, hence, your net pay will only increase by $ 91.15.
Bonus Example
A $ 1,000 bonus will generate an extra $ 912 of net incomes. A $ 5,000 bonus will generate an extra $ 4,558 of net incomes.
