How this is calculated

Monthly PAYE uses the progressive Ethiopian income tax schedule. Each band applies its rate to the whole taxable income, then subtracts the statutory relief for that band. The band that matches your taxable income is highlighted below.

Ethiopian monthly income tax brackets
Taxable income (ETB)	Rate	Relief
Up to 600	0%	0.00
601 – 1,650	10%	60.00
1,651 – 3,200	15%	142.50
3,201 – 5,250	20%	302.50
5,251 – 7,800	25%	565.00
7,801 – 10,900	30%	955.00
Over 10,900	35%	1,500.00

Taxable income equals basic salary plus taxable allowances. Non-taxable allowances are added to your pay without increasing tax.
The employee contributes 7% of basic salary and is deducted from your net pay. Your employer adds a further 11%, which is a company cost and is not deducted from you.
Net salary = basic salary + taxable allowances + non-taxable allowances − (income tax + employee pension). Figures are estimates for planning, not a payroll instruction.
