IRPP calculator: income tax on salaries in Cameroon

Personal income tax (IRPP) is withheld every month by your employer. A 10% council additional tax is added on top.

Enter your monthly or yearly gross pay. You see the taxable base, the tax for the year and the monthly deduction.

The salary you enter is

Salary, bonuses, taxable allowances and benefits in kind, before any deduction.

How it's calculated

  1. Start from the year's taxable gross pay and take off 30% for work expenses, up to FCFA 4,800,000.
  2. Take off the CNPS pension paid by the employee, then the flat allowance of FCFA 500,000.
  3. The scale works in bands: 10% up to FCFA 2,000,000, 15% up to FCFA 3,000,000, 25% up to FCFA 5,000,000 and 35% above.
  4. The council additional tax is 10% of the tax. The monthly deduction is the year's tax divided by 12.

An example

On 500,000 F a month: 6,000,000 F for the year, minus 1,800,000 F work expenses, 252,000 F CNPS and the 500,000 F allowance. The base is 3,448,000 F and IRPP is 462,000 F, so 38,500 F a month plus 3,850 F council tax.

Frequently asked questions

From what salary is IRPP withheld?

Employers withhold no IRPP on monthly gross pay below FCFA 62,000.

Does the top rate apply to my whole salary?

No. Each band of taxable income pays its own rate. Only the part above FCFA 5,000,000 a year pays 35%.

Do I still file a return if tax is withheld?

Yes. The General Tax Code asks every employee for a yearly summary income return, which can be filed online. The tax already withheld is shown on it.
