400 ₼: the key figures
- You receive 358 ₼ (89.5%) and 42 ₼ (10.5%) is withheld. The employer pays 84 ₼ on top, so the job costs 484 ₼.
- The taxable part, 200 ₼, is in the first band (up to 2,500 ₼) at 3%, so income tax is 6 ₼.
- The salary is 2,100 ₼ below the 2,500 ₼ threshold, so the first 200 ₼ of income is tax-free.
- That equals the minimum wage (400 ₼).
- One step up (500 ₼): gross is 100 ₼ higher, net is 84.50 ₼ higher, and 84.5% of the raise reaches you.
- For a technopark resident (5% rate) income tax would be 20 ₼, against 6 ₼ on the usual scale.

Why 358 ₼ and not 400 ₼?
The 400 ₼ 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.
