Central African Republic PAYE Tax Guide 2025/26

The Central African Republic levies IRPP (Impôt sur le Revenu des Personnes Physiques) on employment income under a six-band progressive schedule administered by the Direction Générale des Impôts (DGI). Taxable income is annual gross salary minus CNSS contributions. The top marginal rate of 50% applies to annual income above XAF 8,000,000.

Social security contributions are split: employees pay 3% CNSS on gross wages, while employers contribute 18% — totalling 21% of payroll. CNSS covers pensions, family allowances, and occupational risk.

Use the calculator above to compute your monthly net salary and annual tax liability. For employer payroll planning, the tool shows the full employer CNSS cost so you can model total cost of employment (TCE) for budgeting.
