How is net salary calculated in Burundi?

In Burundi, net salary is calculated by subtracting social security contributions (INSS (National Social Security)) and income tax (IRPP (Personal Income Tax)) from the annual gross salary.

IRPP (Personal Income Tax) uses a progressive scale. Rates range from 0 % for the lowest incomes to 35 % for the highest. Only the portion of income that falls within each bracket is taxed at that rate, never the full salary.

INSS (National Social Security) contributions amount to approximately 5 % of gross salary, funding the pension, healthcare and other social benefits available to employees in Burundi.

This calculator uses official data from Burundi Revenue Authority (obr.bi) for 2026. Results are indicative; for exact calculations or specific situations (personal deductions, special regimes) consult a tax adviser or the country's tax authority.

The first BIF 1,800,000/year is exempt. The employee contributes 5% to the INSS (pension, health and maternity); the employer adds 9%. The Burundian franc (BIF) has depreciated against the dollar.
