Net salary calculator for Cameroon

Your payslip takes several deductions from gross pay: IRPP income tax and its council additional tax, the CNPS old-age pension, the Housing Loan Fund, the broadcasting fee and the local development tax.

Enter your taxable gross pay for the month. You get your net pay and each deduction, worked out with the current General Tax Code.

Basic salary, bonuses, taxable allowances (including transport) and benefits in kind.

Used for the local development tax. Leave it blank if it equals your gross pay.

Family allowances or refunds of work expenses. They go straight to net pay.

Salary advance, mutual insurance, union dues: anything else on your payslip.

How it's calculated

  1. The CNPS takes 4.2% of gross pay for the pension, on pay capped at FCFA 750,000 a month.
  2. IRPP is worked out over the year: gross pay minus 30% for work expenses (up to FCFA 4,800,000 a year), minus the CNPS pension, minus a FCFA 500,000 allowance. Rates run from 10% to 35% and the tax is split over 12 months.
  3. The council additional tax adds 10% of the IRPP. Below FCFA 62,000 of gross pay a month, no IRPP is withheld.
  4. The Housing Loan Fund takes 1% of gross pay rounded down to the thousand. The broadcasting fee and the local development tax are fixed amounts set by pay band.

An example

On 500,000 F gross: 21,000 F CNPS, 38,500 F IRPP, 3,850 F council tax, 5,000 F Housing Loan Fund, 5,850 F CRTV fee and 2,250 F local development tax. Net pay is 423,550 F.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the CNPS deduction stop growing?

The pension contribution applies to pay up to FCFA 750,000 a month. Above that, the deduction stays the same.

Do I need receipts for the work expenses deduction?

No. The General Tax Code allows a flat 30% of gross pay, capped at FCFA 4,800,000 a year.

Which salary counts for the local development tax?

Your monthly basic salary, without bonuses or allowances. If you leave it blank, the calculator uses gross pay, which may give a higher band.

Are family allowances taxed?

No. Family allowances and refunds of work expenses are left out of taxable pay. Enter them in their own box and they go straight to net pay.
