Taxes & Payroll in Indonesia
Employee Income Taxes:
Individual income tax rates in Indonesia are based on progressive tax brackets. Incomes at or bellow 5000 MYR per year are not taxed.
Tax Brackets
5.00%: 0 – 50M IDR
15.00%: 50M – 250M IDR
25.00%: 250M – 500M IDR
30.00%: >500M IDR
Sample Calculation
Yearly income = 700M IDR
30% * 200M = 60M
25% * 250M = 62.5M
15% * 200M = 30M
5% * 50M = 2.5M
60M+62.5M+30M+2.5M = 155M
Yearly income tax = 155M IDR
