Togo PAYE Tax Guide 2025/26

Togo's salary tax is administered by OTR (Office Togolais des Recettes). For employment income, OTR applies the annual salary barème to net taxable pay after deductible employee social contributions, a 28% professional deduction on the first XOF 10,000,000, and family relief.

Togo uses the West African CFA franc (XOF), shared with other WAEMU countries and fixed to the euro. Under the 2023 salary barème, annual net taxable salary is exempt up to XOF 900,000 and then taxed progressively from 3% to 35% above XOF 20,000,000.

For salaried workers, CNSS (Caisse Nationale de Sécurité Sociale) pension contributions are 4% employee and 17.5% employer. Before applying the OTR barème, salary income also benefits from a 28% professional deduction on the first XOF 10,000,000 and XOF 10,000 of relief per month for each dependent, capped at six dependents.

This calculator rounds annual net taxable salary down to the nearest XOF 1,000 before applying the barème, then rounds the resulting tax down to the nearest XOF 10, matching the wording of the OTR code. Monthly figures shown here are annual equivalents divided by 12 for planning purposes.
