About
About HK FinBox
HK FinBox is an independently built financial tools site for Hong Kong. The idea is simple: make hard-to-find rules easier to understand and use.
Why this site exists
Working out how long minimum credit card payments will take may mean digging through bank terms. Estimating salaries tax, severance pay or mortgage affordability means looking in several different official places. We put the formula, assumptions and source links on one page so you can understand the numbers before deciding who to speak to next.
What we provide
The site covers borrowing and credit cards, employee rights, tax and MPF, property, investing, retirement, savings and car costs. Each calculator includes practical guidance, common questions, limitations and relevant official sources.
Editorial and sourcing principles
- Give priority to primary sources from Hong Kong government departments, statutory bodies and regulators.
- Explain formulas, material assumptions, source dates and limitations.
- Review affected tools when rules, tax rates or official data materially change.
- Correct confirmed errors promptly and never put search rankings ahead of accuracy.
Privacy by design
Core calculations run directly in your browser and do not require an account. A tool may use browser storage to remember inputs for your convenience; you can reset the tool or clear browser data at any time.
Funding and editorial independence
The site may use advertising to cover hosting and maintenance, but advertisers do not control formulas, results or editorial content. If we publish paid work, we will label it clearly rather than present an advertisement as an objective conclusion.
Important limitations
HK FinBox is a self-help reference service, not a bank, government department, licensed financial adviser, insurance intermediary, accountant or law firm. Nothing on the site is personal investment, financial, insurance, tax or legal advice. Check current official information and seek qualified advice where appropriate before an important decision.
