Gross Compensation = Base Salary + Bonus + Taxable Allowances / Benefits
Taxable Wages = max(Gross Compensation − Pre-Tax Deductions, 0)
Employee Income Tax = Taxable Wages × Employee Income Tax Rate
Employee Social Contribution = min(Taxable Wages, Employee Social Cap) × Employee Social Rate
Local Tax = Taxable Wages × Local Tax Rate
Other Mandatory Deductions = Taxable Wages × Other Deduction Rate
Total Employee Tax = Employee Income Tax + Employee Social Contribution + Local Tax + Other Mandatory Deductions
Net Pay = Gross Compensation − Pre-Tax Deductions − Total Employee Tax
Employer Payroll Tax = Taxable Wages × Employer Payroll Tax Rate
Employer Social Contribution = min(Taxable Wages, Employer Social Cap) × Employer Social Rate
Total Employer Tax = Employer Payroll Tax + Employer Social Contribution
Total Labor Cost = Gross Compensation + Total Employer Tax
Tax Wedge = (Total Employee Tax + Total Employer Tax) ÷ Total Labor Cost × 100
This calculator uses user-supplied rates and caps. It is a planning model, not a jurisdiction-specific compliance engine.
It means the total taxes and mandatory deductions charged to the employee based on the entered wage base, rates, caps, and deduction assumptions.
No. It uses flat rates you provide. That makes it useful for forecasting, budgeting, and scenario testing when full bracket logic is unnecessary.
Employer payroll taxes change true labor cost. Seeing both sides helps finance, payroll, and HR evaluate compensation packages more accurately.
The tax wedge is the share of total labor cost absorbed by combined employee and employer taxes. It shows the gap between employer cost and employee take-home pay.
Enter the maximum wage base subject to a social contribution. If the cap does not apply, set the cap field to 0.
Not always. This model treats taxable allowances or benefits as payroll compensation for burden analysis. Adjust values based on your payroll design.
Yes. Use one consistent time basis for every field. The formulas still work, and the per-period outputs will reflect your chosen period count.
No. Use it for estimation and planning only. Official payroll filing should follow local laws, thresholds, brackets, and compliance rules.
