Pay and extras
- Annual leave calculator BhutanAn employee in Bhutan earns at least 1.5 days of paid annual leave a month, or 18 days a year, starting after probation (Regulation on Working Conditions 2022, section 181). Public holidays and weekly rest days do not count as leave.
- Minimum wage calculator Bhutan 2026Bhutan's National Minimum Wage is Nu. 125 a day or Nu. 3,750 a month, in effect since February 1, 2014. It applies to all workers whatever their age, sex, disability or skills, and it can be paid daily, weekly or monthly.
- Overtime pay calculator BhutanIn Bhutan an employee below supervisory level who works outside the normal hours must be paid overtime of at least the normal rate of pay. The Act sets that floor at 1 of the normal rate.
- Take-home pay calculator Bhutan 2026Since January 1, 2026 an employee in Bhutan deducts 15% of employment income, up to Nu. 150,000 a year, and pays tax on the rest. This replaced the old deductions for provident fund and group insurance.

Leaving a job
- Final pay deadline calculator BhutanWhen a contract of employment ends in Bhutan, the employer must pay all wages owing within 7 days. The rule is section 127 of the Labour and Employment Act of Bhutan 2007.
- Notice period calculator BhutanA contract of employment in Bhutan must give at least 30 days of notice, and the same period binds the employer and the employee. This calculator turns that rule into a number of days and a sum of money.
- Wrongful dismissal compensation calculator BhutanIf a court finds that you were dismissed in a way or for a reason the law does not allow, it can order the employer to pay you compensation. The ceiling is 6 months of pay.
Taxes
- GST calculator Bhutan 2026Bhutan's Goods and Services Tax has one standard rate, 5%, on taxable goods, services and imports. It came into force on January 1, 2026. Enter a price to add the tax, or take it out of a price that already includes it.
- Income tax calculator Bhutan 2026Under the Income Tax Act of Bhutan 2025, in force since January 1, 2026, an individual pays nothing on taxable income up to Nu. 300,000. Above that the rate climbs from 5% to 30%, and only the slice inside each band pays that band's rate.
- Presumptive tax calculator BhutanA small resident business can skip profit accounts. Schedule 2 of the Income Tax Act of Bhutan 2025 treats 15% of total business income as the taxable amount, then applies the personal bands.
- Private provident fund calculator BhutanIn the National Pension and Provident Fund's private sector scheme, an employee contributes at least 5% of basic salary, and the employing agency makes a matching contribution on the employee's behalf.
- Withholding tax (TDS) calculator BhutanWhoever pays certain amounts in Bhutan must hold back part of the payment and hand it to the Department of Revenue and Customs: 2% on a contract or service fee to a resident, 5% to a non-resident, 5% on rent, and 10% on interest. These rates apply since January 1, 2026.
Money and indexes
Money and indexes
- Dollar to ngultrum calculatorThe Royal Monetary Authority's holding rate was Nu. 95.38 per US dollar at August 31, 2026, in its Monthly Statistical Bulletin. Enter an amount to convert it either way.
- Inflation calculator BhutanThe National Statistics Bureau publishes the Consumer Price Index each month. The latest index is 111.01, for September 1, 2026, on a base of 2023-24 = 100. Its report for September 2026 gives prices 5.58 % higher than a year before.
Loans, savings and investing
- Loan calculatorBefore you sign for a loan, two numbers matter: what you pay each month and what the loan costs you in interest.
- APR to APY calculatorTwo offers with the same rate can cost different amounts. The difference is how often interest is charged or paid.
- Mortgage calculatorA mortgage is the biggest debt most households ever take on. It pays to see the full numbers before you talk to a lender.
- Rent vs buy calculatorComparing the mortgage payment with the rent is not enough. Buyers pay interest, upkeep and property tax, but they end up owning the home. Renters can keep the down payment invested.
- Compound interest calculatorWith compound interest, the interest is added to your balance and starts earning interest of its own. That is why savings grow faster and faster.
- Simple interest calculatorSimple interest is always worked out on the original principal: interest is not added to the balance during the term.
- Savings goal calculatorA trip, a car, a deposit on a home or a cushion for surprises. A goal with an amount and a date is much easier to hit.
- Retirement savings calculatorA state pension often is not enough to keep your standard of living. Savings of your own, even small ones, make a big difference if you start early.
- Credit card payoff calculatorA credit card is usually the most expensive debt you have. Paying only the minimum stretches it out for years and piles on interest.
- 50/30/20 budget calculatorThe 50/30/20 rule is a simple way to plan your month. Half goes to essentials, 30% to things you enjoy and 20% to savings.
- Emergency fund calculatorAn emergency fund is money set aside for what you can't plan for: losing your job, a health problem or an urgent home repair.
- Car cost calculatorMost people know what they spend on fuel. Few add up insurance, maintenance, parking and, above all, the value the car loses every year.
Business and self-employment
- ROI calculatorA 50% gain sounds great, but it is not the same over 2 years as over 10. To compare investments you need the return per year.
- Profit margin calculatorMargin and markup get mixed up all the time, and the difference can cost you money. Both measure the same profit, but against a different base.
- Break-even calculatorThe break-even point is the level of sales where a business neither makes nor loses money. Below it you lose, above it you start to profit.
- Freelance rate calculatorThe most common freelance mistake is taking the salary you would want as an employee and dividing it by 160 hours. That leaves out taxes, expenses, vacation and every hour you can't bill.
Other calculators
- Corporate income tax calculator BhutanCompanies in Bhutan pay a flat 22% on taxable income, and a body of persons pays 22%. A trust pays 30%. These rates have applied since January 1, 2026, under Schedule 1 of the Income Tax Act of Bhutan 2025.
- Gratuity calculator BhutanAn employee in Bhutan who completes 10 years of continuous service, probation included, is entitled to gratuity when the job ends, whichever side ends it (Regulation on Working Conditions 2022, section 243). The employee pays nothing into it.

- Public holiday pay calculator BhutanIf your employer asks you to work on a public holiday in Bhutan, you are owed an additional 50% of your normal rate of pay for that day. The rule sits in section 110 of the Labour and Employment Act of Bhutan 2007.
- Rental income tax calculator BhutanAn individual who lets out a building in Bhutan takes 20% of gross rent off for repairs and maintenance, whatever was really spent.

- Salary deduction limit calculator BhutanAn employer in Bhutan may not deduct so much that your wage for a pay period falls below one half of the total wage. In percentage terms, at least 50% of the wage must reach you.
