Monthly results show regular pay; annual bonuses are included in annual totals and estimated tax. Annual extras and manual deductions are averaged for the estimate; actual payslips may differ.
Reverse calculations return the nearest paisa-based monthly gross; annual rounding can differ by a few paisa.
Non-resident estimate uses 25%; resident personal deductions and rebates are not applied.
Deductions exceed this regular salary. Review annual extras, contributions and other income before using the result.
Nepal salary & tax guide
FY 2083/84 rates
Resident taxation is progressive, with one schedule for single and married people. The first NPR 1,000,000 is taxed at 1%, or 0% for eligible SSF / pension contributors.
| Tax band, NPR | Rate |
|---|---|
| 0 – 1,000,000 | 1% |
| 1,000,000 – 1,500,000 | 10% |
| 1,500,000 – 2,500,000 | 20% |
| 2,500,000 – 4,000,000 | 27% |
| Above 4,000,000 | 29% |
The calculation starts with full-year cash remuneration, employer retirement contributions and taxable benefits. Approved retirement relief is limited to actual eligible contributions, NPR 500,000 or one third of assessable income, whichever is lowest.
A worked salary example
NPR 100,000 monthly gross, NPR 60,000 basic, 12 months, SSF, no bonuses or other relief. The employer adds NPR 144,000 a year; combined employee and employer retirement relief is NPR 223,200.
| Assessable income | NPR 1,344,000.00 |
|---|---|
| Approved retirement deduction | NPR 223,200.00 |
| Taxable income | NPR 1,120,800.00 |
| Annual income tax | NPR 12,080.00 |
| Estimated remaining monthly TDS | NPR 1,006.67 |
| Net salary | NPR 92,393.33 |
| Employer cost | NPR 112,000.00 |
Common questions
Does SSF apply to the whole gross salary?
No. Employee 11% and employer 20% use basic salary. Check your contract instead of assuming a universal basic-to-gross percentage.
Are bonuses and Dashain allowance taxable?
Yes. Enter their annual totals separately. They increase annual cash remuneration and income tax, while SSF continues to use basic salary.
Does CIT remove the first 1% tax?
CIT and PF may qualify for retirement deduction, but that does not automatically exempt the first 1% tax. SSF and qualifying contribution-based pension participation are separate conditions.
What if my salary changed during the year?
Open salary changes, enter actual prior cash salary and contributions, TDS already withheld and remaining months. The current monthly salary is used only for future months. Overpaid TDS is shown separately, not treated as an automatic refund.
Which deductions changed in 2083/84?
This rule set uses home insurance up to NPR 10,000, eligible child tuition at 25% up to NPR 25,000, and approved donations up to the lower of actual, 5% of adjusted income or NPR 300,000.
