About Hong Kong Income Tax
Hong Kong operates a progressive income tax system, where your salary is split into brackets and each portion is taxed at the corresponding rate. The calculator applies these brackets exactly as defined in the Apr-Mar tax year rules.
In addition to income tax, workers in Hong Kong also contribute to social security (which typically covers pension, health, and unemployment insurance). The employee portion of social security contributions is deducted from gross salary before take-home pay is determined.
