What the Calculator Does

The Tunisia Salary Calculator takes your gross monthly salary (the amount before any deductions) and applies:

• Social Security Contributions (SSC): A percentage deducted from your salary that goes toward pensions, healthcare, and social benefits. Rates vary by sector (private or public).
• Income Tax: Based on a simplified version of Tunisia’s progressive tax system, where higher incomes are taxed at higher rates.
• Net Salary Calculation: The final amount you take home after SSC and taxes are deducted.
