Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $ 1,500 to pay you $ 3,047,620. In other words, every time you spend $ 10 of your hard-earned money, $ 1.70 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
17.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 16.9% tax rate now rises to 17.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $ 36,571,440 a year living in Hong Kong, you will be taxed $ 6,191,645. That means that your net pay will be $ 30,379,795 per year, or $ 2,531,650 per month. Your average tax rate is 16.9% 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
