Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $ 8.65 to pay you $ 748. In other words, every time you spend $ 10 of your hard-earned money, $ 1.65 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
16.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 15.4% tax rate now rises to 16.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $ 1,555,840 a year living in Hong Kong, you will be taxed $ 238,993. That means that your net pay will be $ 1,316,847 per year, or $ 109,737 per month. Your average tax rate is 15.4% and your marginal tax rate is 17.0%. 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 $ 17, hence, your net pay will only increase by $ 83.
Bonus Example
A $ 1,000 bonus will generate an extra $ 830 of net incomes. A $ 5,000 bonus will generate an extra $ 4,150 of net incomes.
