Net to gross salary calculator
Negotiating a job offer in net terms? Enter the take-home pay you want each month and get the gross salary to ask for.
It works the PAYE calculation backwards with the current RSL band and tax credit. It assumes no pension contribution.
How it's calculated
- PAYE takes 20% of the first M 77,760 a year and 30% above it, less the M 12,240 credit.
- The calculator finds the lowest gross salary whose take-home pay reaches the amount you entered.
An example
To take home M8 668 a month you need M10 000 gross. PAYE on M10 000 is M1 332.
Frequently asked questions
Why does a gross salary of M5 000 give the same net?
Because 20% of M5 000 is smaller than the monthly share of the M 12,240 tax credit, so no PAYE is due.
Does this include pension contributions?
No. If you pay into a pension fund, use the take-home pay calculator with your contribution to check the final figure.
How much of each extra loti do I keep?
Above the band, 30% of each extra loti goes to PAYE and you keep the rest. Below it, 20% goes to PAYE.
