How Ethiopian PAYE is calculated

Employment income tax is calculated monthly using the applicable progressive band. The 2025 amendment raised the tax-free monthly threshold to ETB 2,000 and applies 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, and 35% marginal bands above it.

Pension assumptions

When enabled, the calculator shows a 7% employee pension deduction and an 11% employer contribution on the pensionable basic salary. Your payslip or payroll office remains the source of truth for special schemes.
