Checked against the lawEach deduction is worked out from gross pay on its own. Tax is taken only from what is left after the tax-free part.
From the employee’s pay per month, ₼
Employer cost per month, ₼
1,000 ₼: the key figures
- You receive 865 ₼ (86.5%) and 135 ₼ (13.5%) is withheld. The employer pays 189 ₼ on top, so the job costs 1,189 ₼.
- The taxable part, 800 ₼, is in the first band (up to 2,500 ₼) at 3%, so income tax is 24 ₼.
- The salary is 1,500 ₼ below the 2,500 ₼ threshold, so the first 200 ₼ of income is tax-free.
- That is 2.5 times the minimum wage (400 ₼).
- One step down (800 ₼): gross is 200 ₼ lower, net is 169 ₼ lower, and 84.5% of the difference reaches you.
- One step up (1,200 ₼): gross is 200 ₼ higher, net is 169 ₼ higher, and 84.5% of the raise reaches you.
- For a technopark resident (5% rate) income tax would be 50 ₼, against 24 ₼ on the usual scale.

Why 865 ₼ and not 1,000 ₼?
The 1,000 ₼ in the contract is gross pay. Income tax and three insurance contributions come out of it; the first 200 ₼ is not taxed, because the pay is not above 2,500 ₼ and this is your main job.
