Nepal Salary Tax Calculator 2083/84: Understand the New Income Tax Slabs
Salary tax in Nepal is progressive: different portions of taxable income are charged at different rates. A useful estimate starts with annual taxable income, then applies each band in order rather than applying one percentage to the entire salary.

How progressive tax works
The FY 2083/84 natural-person tax-rate notice published by the Inland Revenue Department lists the current individual tax bands. The first band is NPR 1,000,000 at 1% where the charge applies, followed by NPR 500,000 at 10%, NPR 1,000,000 at 20%, NPR 1,500,000 at 27%, and income above NPR 4,000,000 at 29%.
Some statutory situations are exempt from the 1% first-band charge. Taxable income is not always the same as gross salary: eligible deductions, contributions and allowances may affect the calculation.
How to estimate monthly salary tax
- Find annual taxable income after eligible deductions.
- Enter that annual figure in the FY 2083/84 salary tax calculator.
- Select the first-band exemption only if it genuinely applies to your case.
- Review the band-by-band tax and monthly average.
- Compare the estimate with your employer payroll statement or an IRD-approved calculation.
What this calculator does not decide
This estimate is for resident natural persons and does not automatically account for every rebate, insurance deduction, retirement contribution, special income category, non-resident case or individual tax credit. Confirm your situation with IRD or a qualified tax professional.
