Weekly pay calculator Trinidad and Tobago

If you are paid by the week, enter your gross weekly wages to see what you take home.

NIS and Health Surcharge are weekly amounts by law, so a weekly pay packet shows them exactly.

Basic pay plus taxable allowances for the week.

How it's calculated

  1. NIS: the weekly contribution for your earnings class. The lowest class starts at TT$200 a week.
  2. Health Surcharge: TT$8.25 if you earn more than TT$109 a week, otherwise TT$4.80.
  3. PAYE: 52 weeks of wages less the TT$90,000 allowance and 70% of your NIS, taxed at 25% and divided by 52.

An example

On TT$3,000 a week you pay NIS of TT$163.60, Health Surcharge of TT$8.25 and PAYE of TT$288.68. You take home TT$2,539.47.

Frequently asked questions

Do I pay income tax on weekly wages?

Only if 52 weeks of your wages, after deductions, come to more than the TT$90,000 personal allowance.

How is my NIS class worked out when I am paid weekly?

From the weekly earnings column of the NIBTT table. Each class has a fixed weekly amount, so your NIS only changes when your wages cross into another class.

What if my hours change from week to week?

Your NIS class and Health Surcharge follow the wages of each week. This calculator shows PAYE as if every week paid the same, so use your usual wages.
