Mauritania Net Salary Calculator 2026

How is net salary calculated in Mauritania?

In Mauritania, net salary is calculated by subtracting social security contributions (CNSS (National Social Security Fund)) and income tax (IRPP (Income Tax, DGI) 2024) from the annual gross salary.

IRPP (Income Tax, DGI) 2024 uses a progressive scale. Rates range from 0 % for the lowest incomes to 40 % for the highest. Only the portion of income that falls within each bracket is taxed at that rate, never the full salary.

CNSS (National Social Security Fund) contributions amount to approximately 1 % of gross salary, funding the pension, healthcare and other social benefits available to employees in Mauritania.

This calculator uses official data from Directorate General of Taxes of Mauritania (DGI) 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.

Mauritania applies the IRPP with rates of 0%/15%/25%/40%, with the first MRU 9,000/year exempt. The Mauritanian ouguiya (MRU) replaced the old ouguiya (MRO) in 2018 at a rate of 1 MRU = 10 MRO. The employee CNSS contribution is minimal (≈1%); the employer bears the bulk of pension and health contributions (≈15%).
