Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $ 432 to pay you $ 8,634. In other words, every time you spend $ 10 of your hard-earned money, $ 1.09 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
10.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 5.9% tax rate now rises to 10.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $ 207,216 a year living in Hong Kong, you will be taxed $ 12,252. That means that your net pay will be $ 194,964 per year, or $ 16,247 per month. Your average tax rate is 5.9% and your marginal tax rate is 10.7%. 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 $ 10.70, hence, your net pay will only increase by $ 89.30.
Bonus Example
A $ 1,000 bonus will generate an extra $ 893 of net incomes. A $ 5,000 bonus will generate an extra $ 4,465 of net incomes.
