- Employees pay 5% of monthly pay into MPF, up to HK$1,500 a month. Up to HK$18,000 a year is tax-deductible.
- Married uses the married person’s allowance (HK$290,000) and assumes your spouse has no income. Child, parent and other allowances are not included.
- Tax is paid once a year, not withheld from each paycheck, and the IRD also collects provisional tax for the next year. Put money aside each month.
- Any one-off tax reduction announced in a Budget is not included; the 2026/27 Budget’s reduction applies to 2025/26 tax.
