Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $ 1,500 to pay you $ 78,126. In other words, every time you spend $ 10 of your hard-earned money, $ 1.62 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
15.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 14.3% tax rate now rises to 15.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $ 937,512 a year living in Hong Kong, you will be taxed $ 133,877. That means that your net pay will be $ 803,635 per year, or $ 66,970 per month. Your average tax rate is 14.3% 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.
