How is take-home pay calculated in Hong Kong?

We start with your gross salary, apply the Hong Kong personal allowance and any standard deductions, run the result through the 2024/25 progressive income tax brackets, then subtract mandatory employee social-security and equivalent contributions. The number left is your annual and monthly net pay.

Does this include social security and other payroll deductions in Hong Kong?

Yes. The Hong Kong calculator models employee-side social security, pension, health, and any solidarity or surcharge components that apply to wages. Employer-side contributions are excluded because they don't reduce your take-home pay.

Is the Hong Kong calculator accurate for my situation?

It's a single-filer wage estimate that uses official 2024/25 rates. Your actual tax can differ based on filing status, dependants, regional or municipal taxes, salary-sacrifice arrangements, capital gains, and other personal credits. Treat the result as a strong first estimate, not tax advice.

What's the effective tax rate on a HK$100,000 salary in Hong Kong?
