Sudan PAYE Tax Guide 2025/26

Sudan levies employment income tax under the Income Tax Act 1986 (as amended), administered by the Taxation Chamber. The schedule has four progressive bands denominated in Sudanese Pounds (SDG), from 0% on the first SDG 24,000 annually to a top rate of 15% on income above SDG 60,000 per year. Rates are among the lowest in Africa, reflecting the country's current economic circumstances.

The NSIF (National Social Insurance Fund) collects social security contributions. Employees pay 8% of basic salary and employers contribute 17%, providing coverage for pensions, disability, and survivors' benefits.

Use the calculator above to estimate monthly net pay and employer cost in Sudan. The tool models NSIF contributions alongside income tax to give an accurate take-home figure under current Sudanese law.

Common PAYE Questions

What are the Sudan PAYE tax bands for 2026?

Four monthly bands: 0% on SDG 0–10,000; 5% on SDG 10,001–40,000; 10% on SDG 40,001–70,000; 15% above SDG 70,000. Applied monthly to taxable income (after NSIF deduction).

Is NSIF contribution deductible from PAYE taxable income?

Yes — the employee's mandatory 8% NSIF contribution is fully deductible from gross pay before calculating PAYE. This reduces your taxable income and therefore your PAYE tax. The employer's matching 17% contribution is a separate employer cost.

What does NSIF cover in Sudan?

The National Social Insurance Fund (NSIF) provides social security coverage for employees, including pension, disability, and survivor benefits. Total contribution is 25% (employee 8% + employer 17%).

How is the effective tax rate calculated?

Effective tax rate = (Total PAYE tax / Gross salary) × 100%. This shows the average percentage of gross salary paid in income tax. The marginal rate (on the next SDG earned) may be higher due to progressive bands.

What is the difference between marginal and effective tax rates?

Marginal rate is the tax rate on your next SDG of income (your current band). Effective rate is your total tax divided by total income. Because of progressive bands, your marginal rate is typically higher than your effective rate.

Are there other payroll deductions in Sudan?

Beyond NSIF, there may be pension contributions, union dues, and other statutory deductions depending on employer policy. Always consult your employer or a Sudanese tax professional for comprehensive information.
