Nothing you type here leaves your device

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Salaries, names, TINs and every other figure you enter are calculated on your own device and are never sent to us, never saved on our servers, and never stored by this site. Close the tab and they are gone. Downloads are built in your browser too, so they do not pass through us either.

Results are for guidance. Confirm against the current GRA and SSNIT rules, or ask us, before you file or pay on them.

Rates in force PAYE is calculated on the bands published by the Ghana Revenue Authority under the Income Tax (Amendment) Act, 2026 (Act 1178), effective 1 September 2026. SSNIT is 5.5% employee and 13% employer on basic salary.

Basic salary is what SSNIT is calculated on. Allowances are taxable but not pensionable. Add as many people as you need.

The PDF button opens your payslips in a new tab and starts your browser's print dialogue — choose “Save as PDF” as the destination. If nothing happens, allow pop-ups for this site. The tool uses no third-party code, so your salary figures never leave your device.

An estimate, not a filed return This applies the standard bands to the figures you enter. It does not account for personal tax reliefs, benefits in kind, overtime and bonus rules, non-resident status, or arrears. Your filed PAYE and SSNIT returns remain your responsibility — and ours if we are engaged to prepare them.
