Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $ 4.15 to pay you $ 83. In other words, every time you spend $ 10 of your hard-earned money, $ 1.04 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
9.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 5.4% tax rate now rises to 9.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $ 172,640 a year living in Hong Kong, you will be taxed $ 9,272. That means that your net pay will be $ 163,368 per year, or $ 13,614 per month. Your average tax rate is 5.4% and your marginal tax rate is 6.9%. 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 $ 6.90, hence, your net pay will only increase by $ 93.10.
Bonus Example
A $ 1,000 bonus will generate an extra $ 931 of net incomes. A $ 5,000 bonus will generate an extra $ 4,655 of net incomes.
