Build your monthly estimate

Use regular taxable gross remuneration. Benefits in kind and exceptional payments require separate payroll treatment.

The CGI applies ITS to monthly gross taxable remuneration; employee CNSS is not subtracted from this tax base.

*The June levy does not apply when taxable income is XOF 60,000 or less.

Official range is 1%–4%; this changes employer cost only.

How the estimate is built

  1. Apply the monthly marginal ITS bands to taxable gross remuneration.
  2. Add the ORTB levy only for the selected month.
  3. Calculate employee CNSS at 3.6% separately.
  4. Subtract ITS, the selected levy and employee CNSS from gross pay.
  5. Show employer family, pension and selected occupational-risk contributions separately.

The annual summary assumes the same taxable gross every month and includes both scheduled ORTB levies.

Calculation methodology

The calculator applies the five monthly marginal ITS bands directly to taxable gross remuneration, adds the month-specific ORTB levy, calculates employee CNSS at 3.6% separately, and shows employer family, pension and occupational-risk contributions separately.

Known limitations

  • Informational estimate only. It is not professional tax, legal, payroll, or filing advice.
  • Benefits in kind, exceptional remuneration, exemptions, variable monthly income and contract deductions are not modeled.
  • The annual view assumes the same taxable gross salary in every month.
  • Confirm filing, registration, and remittance duties with the official authority or a qualified adviser before submission.

Test-case examples

Input: Monthly taxable gross: XOF 0.
Expected: ITS, CNSS and net pay are zero.
Why: Establishes the zero-income baseline and catches negative liability regressions.

Input: Monthly taxable gross XOF 500,000; standard month; occupational risk 1%.
Expected: Base ITS XOF 71,500; employee CNSS XOF 18,000; net XOF 410,500; employer contribution XOF 82,000; employer cost XOF 582,000.
Why: Protects the official monthly bands, separate CNSS base and employer contribution components.

Input: Monthly taxable gross XOF 60,000; June.
Expected: June ORTB levy is zero under the first-band exemption.
Why: Protects the statutory June levy exemption boundary.
