    About the Nepal salary and income tax calculator

    If you work in Nepal, your employer withholds tax at source every month — commonly called TDS (Tax Deducted at Source). This calculator estimates that monthly deduction and your take-home pay from a gross monthly salary, using the progressive slab rates, allowances and deductions set out in the annual Finance Act. It is useful for employees checking a payslip, for employers preparing payroll, and for anyone weighing up a job offer who wants the net figure rather than the headline salary.

    How salary tax is calculated

    The tool starts with your gross annual income — monthly salary multiplied by the number of paid months, plus any festival (Dashain) bonus. It then subtracts the deductions you are allowed, such as retirement contributions and insurance premiums, to reach taxable income. That income is taxed band by band, so only the portion falling inside each slab is charged at that slab's rate. The annual tax divided by twelve gives the monthly TDS.

    Deductions and the SSF waiver

    Contributions to the Social Security Fund or an approved retirement fund are deductible up to the cap, and they also remove the 1% Social Security Tax charged on the first slab. Life-insurance and health-insurance premiums are deductible within their annual limits. Tick the SSF option in the calculator to apply the waiver automatically.

    The result is an estimate for planning — your employer's payroll and the IRD's assessment remain the final word.

    Frequently asked questions

    How is salary tax (TDS) calculated in Nepal?
    Your gross annual income (salary × months + festival bonus) is reduced by allowed deductions — retirement contributions and insurance premiums — and the balance is taxed on a progressive slab scale. The annual tax divided by 12 gives the monthly TDS an employer withholds.
    What are the income tax slabs for FY 2083/84?
    For individuals and couples the unified schedule is 1% on the first Rs 10 lakh, 10% up to Rs 15 lakh, 20% up to Rs 25 lakh, 27% up to Rs 40 lakh and 29% above. The 1% first-band charge is the Social Security Tax.
    What deductions can I claim against salary income?
    Retirement contributions through SSF or an approved fund (capped at Rs 5 lakh or one-third of income, whichever is lower), life-insurance premiums up to Rs 40,000, health insurance up to Rs 20,000, and building insurance where applicable.
    Is the 1% Social Security Tax always charged?
    No. The 1% charge on the first slab is waived when you contribute to the Social Security Fund or an approved retirement fund. The calculator removes it automatically when you tick the SSF option.
    Do married couples get a different schedule?
    For FY 2082/83 there was a separate (higher) couple schedule; from FY 2083/84 individuals and couples share one unified schedule, so the couple option only appears for older years.
    Is the Dashain (festival) bonus taxable in Nepal?
    Yes. The festival bonus is added to your gross annual income and taxed along with your salary, then spread across the year when the employer withholds TDS. It is not a separate exempt payment.
    How do I calculate in-hand salary from gross salary?
    Estimate the annual tax on your gross salary using the slab rates, divide it by twelve to get the monthly TDS, then subtract that figure and any employee retirement contribution from your gross monthly salary. What remains is your take-home pay.
