SAMPLE CALCULATION
If the salary of an employee is 2,000 Birr.
By referring to the above table, we can see that 2,000 birr falls in the No. 4 row. So, Tax Rate = 15% and deduction = 142.50
Income Tax = (2,000 Birr x 15%) – 142.50 Birr
Income Tax = 300 Birr – 142.50 = 157.50 Birr
Employee Pension = 2,000 Birr x 7% = 140 Birr
Employee Net Income = 2,000 Birr – 157.50 – 140 = 1702.50 Birr
Net Income = 1,702.50 Birr
