How the PAYE Calculator Works

Our PAYE calculator applies the Zimbabwe progressive income tax system to your gross monthly salary:

Annualise your salary — multiply monthly gross by 12
Apply tax bands — 0% on the first US$1,200, then 20%, 25%, 30%, and 40% on successive bands
Subtract the tax credit — US$1,200 per year (US$100 per month)
Add AIDS levy — 3% of the income tax payable
Calculate monthly tax — divide the annual tax by 12
Show net pay — gross salary minus total monthly tax

The result is your estimated net monthly take-home pay after PAYE deductions. The calculator does not account for NSSA contributions, pension fund deductions, or other voluntary deductions which may reduce your gross salary further.

How the Import Duty Calculator Works

When importing a vehicle into Zimbabwe, several charges apply on top of the vehicle’s value:

Customs Duty — 40% for sedans, 60% for SUVs and trucks, applied to the vehicle’s customs value (CIF)
Surtax — 25% for newer vehicles (under 5 years), 30% for older vehicles, applied to the customs value
VAT — 15% on the total of (customs value + duty + surtax)
Total landing cost — vehicle value + all duties and taxes

Note that additional costs may apply including clearing agent fees, transport, storage, and vehicle inspection fees. Our calculator provides the ZIMRA tax component only.
