Net to gross salary calculator for The Gambia
When a job is offered as a net amount, the employer still has to know the gross salary for the payroll. Enter the take-home pay to find it.
The calculator works backwards from the GRA PAYE bands and the employee's 5% National Provident Fund contribution, assuming no allowances.
How it's calculated
- Take-home pay = basic salary − PAYE − NPF.
- PAYE uses the yearly bands, with the first D 36,000 a year tax-free and 25% above D 76,000.
- The calculator tries salaries until the take-home pay matches the one you entered.
An example
To take home D15,166.67 a month in the NPF, the basic salary has to be D20,000.
Frequently asked questions
Why does each extra dalasi of net pay cost more than a dalasi?
Because every extra dalasi of salary carries PAYE at your top band rate and the NPF contribution, so the gross has to rise faster than the net.
What if part of the pay is allowances?
Allowances are taxed like salary but do not carry the NPF contribution, so with allowances the gross needed is a little lower.
Does the employer pay more than the gross?
Yes. On top of it come the employer's NPF share and the injuries fund. The employer cost calculator adds them.
