Tax Computation of Salaries Tax and Personal Assessment

You can calculate your tax liability under salaries tax or personal assessment by using a simple Tax Calculator developed by the Inland Revenue Department.

The program has now been updated to facilitate you to calculate the amount of tax payable for 2023/24 and 2024/25 after taking into account the 2024-25 Budget proposals.

How Salaries Tax is computed

Salaries Tax payable is calculated at progressive rates on your net chargeable income or at standard rate on your net income, whichever is lower.

Net Chargeable Income = Total Income - Deductions - Allowances

Net Income = Total Income - Deductions

A year of assessment runs from 1 April to 31 March of the following year.

Provisional Salaries Tax for a year is usually based on the income less the allowances of the preceding year.

Points to Note When Using Tax Calculator

The tax payable figure produced by the Tax Calculator is for your information only. Its correctness always depends on whether you have entered the correct income figure, deductions, your marital status and the number of your dependants. The Inland Revenue Department accepts no liability whatsoever for any loss or damage which may be incurred by its use.

The Tax Calculator can indicate whether it is to your advantage to elect joint assessment if the income and deductions of you and your spouse (where applicable) are inputted in the input page.

Personal Assessment
If you and/or your spouse had income chargeable to property tax and/or profits tax, the Tax Calculator can indicate whether it is to your advantage to elect for personal assessment. Please input the total income and deductions of you and your spouse (where applicable) in the input page.

Filing under eTAX
The Internet Filing function can also compute your tax liability if you are filing a current year return. Before your submission or after you have lodged your tax return electronically, the system will estimate your salaries tax payable automatically according to the information supplied in your tax return and show you the amount of salaries tax payable under each instalment after deducting the provisional tax charged for the year.
