How is net salary calculated in Timor-Leste?

In Timor-Leste, net salary is calculated by subtracting social security contributions (Social Security (SNIS)) and income tax (IRTS (Withholding Tax on Salaries)) from the annual gross salary.

IRTS (Withholding Tax on Salaries) uses a progressive scale. Rates range from 0 % for the lowest incomes to 10 % for the highest. Only the portion of income that falls within each bracket is taxed at that rate, never the full salary.

Social Security (SNIS) contributions amount to approximately 3 % of gross salary, funding the pension, healthcare and other social benefits available to employees in Timor-Leste.

This calculator uses official data from Tax Authority Timor-Leste (mof.gov.tl) 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 $500/month ($6,000/year) is exempt. Above that, a flat 10% withholding applies. The SNIS social security system charges 3% to the employee and 6% to the employer. Timor-Leste uses the US dollar as its official currency.
