Thailand Salary Calculator – How to Use It

The Thailand Salary Calculator is an online tool that helps employees estimate their take-home pay by calculating deductions such as income tax and Social Security Fund (SSF) from their gross salary.

Why Use a Thailand Salary Calculator?

When working in Thailand, your gross monthly salary is not the same as your net take-home pay. Employers deduct contributions to the Social Security Fund and personal income tax before paying you.

The Thailand Salary Calculator helps you:

Understand your true monthly income
Plan your personal budget more effectively
Estimate tax and SSF deductions
Compare gross job offers to actual take-home pay

How to Use the Calculator

Using the tool is simple. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Enter Gross Monthly Salary

Input your total salary before deductions in Thai Baht (THB).
Example: 50,000 THB

Step 2: Click “Calculate Net Salary”

The calculator will process the numbers using Thailand’s SSF rules and income tax brackets.

Step 3: Review Your Salary Breakdown

The results will show:

Gross Salary: Your full monthly salary.
Social Security Fund (SSF): 5% of gross salary, capped at ฿750.
Income Tax: Calculated progressively based on annual income brackets.
Net Salary: The actual take-home pay after deductions.

Example Calculation

If your gross monthly salary is ฿50,000:

SSF (5%): ฿750 (max cap reached)
Tax (approx): ฿3,333 per month
Net Take-Home Pay: ฿45,917

FAQ – Thailand Salary Calculator

Does this calculator include bonuses or allowances?

No, this calculator only covers gross salary, SSF, and income tax. You can add allowances (housing, transport, bonuses) separately.

How accurate is this calculator?

It uses the official Thai tax brackets and SSF rules, so it’s a close estimate. Actual figures may differ slightly due to employer-specific contributions or deductions.

Do foreigners also pay SSF and tax in Thailand?

Yes, if you are legally employed in Thailand, both locals and expats contribute 5% to SSF (max ฿750) and pay personal income tax.

Can I use this for yearly salary?

Yes. Simply multiply your gross monthly salary × 12, and the calculator already applies yearly tax brackets divided back into monthly amounts.

Is HRA (House Rent Allowance) included?

No. The tool provides a general estimate. Employees who qualify for tax deductions like HRA, personal allowances, or dependent deductions may have lower taxable income.
