      How it's calculated

      From gross salary to monthly TDS

      The same four steps payroll follows each month.

      1. Split gross

      Gross is divided into basic and allowances. Statutory contributions are worked out on basic only.

      2. Contributions

      SSF: 11% employee + 20% employer. PF: 10% + 10%. CIT is voluntary and set by the employee.

      3. Taxable income

      Retirement contributions are deducted, capped at the lowest of the actual amount, NPR 5,00,000 or one-third of income.

      4. Monthly TDS

      Tax on the annual taxable income is calculated band by band, then divided by 12 for monthly withholding.

      Tax slabs, FY 2083/84 (resident individual)

      One unified schedule now applies; there are no separate single and married tables.

      Annual taxable income (NPR) PF + CIT / CIT only SSF
      Up to 10,00,000 1% 0%
      10,00,001 – 15,00,000 10% 10%
      15,00,001 – 25,00,000 20% 20%
      25,00,001 – 40,00,000 27% 27%
      Above 40,00,000 29% 29%

       

      Why SSF can mean zero tax

      The 1% on the first band is the Social Security Tax. SSF contributors are exempt from it, so an employee on SSF whose taxable income stays within NPR 10 lakh pays no TDS at all.

      Under PF + CIT or CIT only, that 1% still applies from the first rupee.

      FAQs

      Frequently asked questions

      Annual employment income (gross plus any employer retirement contribution) is reduced by the allowed retirement deduction to get taxable income. Tax is then applied band by band using the slabs for the fiscal year, and the annual figure is divided by 12 to get monthly TDS.

      1% up to NPR 10,00,000, 10% from 10,00,001 to 15,00,000, 20% from 15,00,001 to 25,00,000, 27% from 25,00,001 to 40,00,000 and 29% above 40,00,000. SSF contributors pay 0% on the first band.

      Tax is calculated on total income (gross). Basic matters because PF, CIT and SSF are calculated on basic, and those contributions reduce taxable income.

      The retirement deduction is limited to the lowest of: your actual contributions (employee + employer), NPR 5,00,000 a year, or one-third of assessable income.

      They are alternatives, not add-ons. SSF costs the employer more (20% of basic vs 10% for PF) but gives employees the 1% first-band exemption and wider social-security benefits. Use the comparison table above to see the difference for a given salary.

      No. This tool covers salary, retirement contributions and the standard slabs. Actual payroll may apply further deductions such as life or health insurance premiums, so treat the result as an estimate.
