PAYE calculator Tanzania

Enter your gross monthly salary to see the PAYE your employer should withhold. Your NSSF contribution comes off first, because contributions to an approved fund are not taxed.

You can also see what changes if this is a secondary job or if you are not resident in Tanzania.

Salary plus allowances and taxable benefits.

How it's calculated

  1. Your share of NSSF is taken off your gross salary. What is left is your taxable pay.
  2. Taxable pay up to TSh 270,000 a month is not taxed. Pay up to TSh 520,000 is taxed at 8%, up to TSh 760,000 at 20%, up to TSh 1,000,000 at 25% and anything above at 30%.
  3. A secondary employer withholds at the highest rate, 30%. Non-resident employees pay a flat 15% on gross pay.

An example

On TSh 1,000,000 a month, NSSF is TSh 100,000 and taxable pay is TSh 900,000. PAYE is TSh 103,000.
