Frequently Asked Questions
To maintain your current standard of living, your salary in Hong Kong must adjust based on relative local purchasing power. Onbuju's calculator determines the exact equivalent salary using actual cost of living indices (including rent, groceries, and services).
The calculator uses the cost of living index ratio between Hong Kong and Geneva to scale your current salary. For example, if Hong Kong's cost of living is 20% lower, a salary equivalent of 20% less will purchase the same basket of goods and services.
Tax systems differ significantly. In Geneva, the tax process is rated as: Low Swiss Tax & Bouclier Fiscal (Switzerland features moderate income tax rates compared to EU neighbors, with Canton of Geneva progressive rates and lump-sum tax rules.). In Hong Kong, it is: Low & Simple (A financial paradise with low income tax and no VAT or capital gains tax.). Onbuju recommends evaluating net income after local social contributions and tax brackets.
