Work out your salary income tax in Nepal. From FY 2083/84 (mid-July 2026) one unified slab applies to everyone — 1% up to NPR 10 lakh, then 10%, 20%, 27% and 29% — replacing the old separate single and married scales. You can also check the previous year, FY 2082/83. Enter your pay to see your annual tax, monthly TDS and take-home pay. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
These deductions are capped at the lower of NPR 5,00,000 or one-third of your income — the calculator applies the cap automatically. Life insurance (up to NPR 40,000) and health insurance (up to NPR 20,000) are separate deductions; add them to this figure only up to their limits.
FY 2083/84 (one scale for everyone): 1% up to NPR 10,00,000 · 10% on NPR 10,00,001–15,00,000 · 20% on NPR 15,00,001–25,00,000 · 27% on NPR 25,00,001–40,00,000 · 29% above NPR 40,00,000. FY 2082/83 (single): 1% up to NPR 5,00,000 · 10% to 7,00,000 · 20% to 10,00,000 · 30% to 20,00,000 · 36% to 50,00,000 · 39% above. FY 2082/83 (married): first band up to NPR 6,00,000, then 10% to 8,00,000, 20% to 11,00,000, 30% to 20,00,000, 36% to 50,00,000, 39% above. The 1% first band is a social security tax, waived for SSF contributors. Tax is progressive — each band only touches the slice of income inside it.
The exempt band doubled from NPR 5 lakh to NPR 10 lakh, the top rate fell from 39% to 29%, and the separate married and single scales were replaced by one unified scale for every individual. Most salaried workers pay less tax than under FY 2082/83.
Yes. The 1% levy on the first band is a social security tax, and SSF contributors do not pay it because they already pay the 1% social security tax through SSF. Tick the SSF box and the calculator removes it.
It should be close. Your employer deducts tax at source (TDS) each month using the same slabs, but payroll can differ if your bonus, allowances or deductions change during the year. Use this to check your payslip, not to replace your employer's calculation.
Disclaimer: This is an estimate based on the Finance Act 2082 (FY 2082/83 slabs) and the Finance Act 2083 / Budget 2026/27 (FY 2083/84 unified slabs) under Nepal's Income Tax Act 2058, as published by the Inland Revenue Department (ird.gov.np).
