Payroll tax by jurisdiction

Plain-language tax notes

These notes explain the country schedules available in OPleo. Each estimate covers only the status, region, year and deductions stated below.

United Kingdom: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland

The UK has four constituent countries. For employment income in 2026/27, England, Wales and Northern Ireland share the same main Income Tax bands: the standard Personal Allowance is £12,570; taxable income above it is charged at 20% on the next £37,700, 40% up to £125,140, and 45% above that. The Personal Allowance is reduced by £1 for each £2 of adjusted net income above £100,000 and is fully withdrawn at £125,140.

Scotland has its own non-savings income bands for Scottish taxpayers: after the standard £12,570 Personal Allowance, the 2026/27 rates are 19% on the first £3,967 of taxable income, 20% to £16,956, 21% to £31,092, 42% to £62,430, 45% to £125,140, then 48%. Savings and dividend income follow UK-wide rules.

UK-wide employee National Insurance applies separately across all four constituent countries. The standard category A estimate uses 8% between £12,570 and £50,270 of annual earnings and 2% above £50,270. Actual PAYE and National Insurance depend on tax code, pay period, category, benefits and prior earnings. The preset does not calculate other NI categories or personal reliefs.

United States: federal single-filer estimate

The 2026 federal preset is for one unmarried filer. It subtracts the $16,100 standard deduction, then applies 10% to the first $12,400 of taxable income; 12% to $50,400; 22% to $105,700; 24% to $201,775; 32% to $256,225; 35% to $640,600; and 37% above that. Filing status changes both the standard deduction and brackets.

Employee FICA is estimated separately: Social Security is 6.2% on wages up to $184,500; Medicare is 1.45% with no wage cap; and an additional 0.9% Medicare withholding applies to wages above $200,000. State and local income taxes, credits, W-4 adjustments, and year-to-date wages from other employers are not included.

India: Tax Year 2026–27, new tax regime

The India preset covers the new regime for income earned from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. It deducts the ₹75,000 salary standard deduction, then applies 0% up to ₹4 lakh, 5% from ₹4–8 lakh, 10% from ₹8–12 lakh, 15% from ₹12–16 lakh, 20% from ₹16–20 lakh, 25% from ₹20–24 lakh and 30% above ₹24 lakh. Eligible resident individuals may receive the section 87A rebate of up to ₹60,000 when total income is no more than ₹12 lakh. A 4% health and education cess applies to tax after rebate.

The preset includes the new-regime surcharge bands above ₹50 lakh and marginal relief at surcharge thresholds. The section 87A rebate applies only to eligible resident individuals; select this preset only when that assumption fits. The old regime, special-rate income, exemptions, other income and employee-specific deductions require separate review; this is an annual estimate, not a complete return calculation.

Pakistan: salaried individual schedules

Pakistan uses a July–June tax year. Tax Year 2026 (1 July 2025–30 June 2026) taxes annual taxable salary at 0% up to PKR 600,000; 1% of the amount above PKR 600,000 to PKR 1.2 million; 11% from PKR 1.2–2.2 million; 23% from PKR 2.2–3.2 million; 30% from PKR 3.2–4.1 million; and 35% above PKR 4.1 million. A 9% surcharge on income tax applies when taxable income exceeds PKR 10 million.

Tax Year 2027 (1 July 2026–30 June 2027) uses the revised slabs: 0% up to PKR 600,000; 1% to PKR 1.2 million; 11% to PKR 2.2 million; 20% to PKR 3.2 million; 25% to PKR 4.1 million; 29% to PKR 5.6 million; 32% to PKR 7 million; and 35% above PKR 7 million. The 2026 Finance Act removed the prior salary surcharge. The estimate uses annual taxable salary and does not model every exemption or payroll-specific adjustment.

Sources: FBR withholding tax rate cards and Finance Bill 2026.

Saudi Arabia: salary income and GOSI

Saudi Arabia does not impose personal income tax on employment salaries. The Saudi preset therefore estimates zero salary income tax; it does not mean every payslip has no deductions. Social insurance through GOSI is separate: coverage and employee contributions depend on nationality, applicable pension system, prior contribution history and employment status. This preset does not calculate GOSI, employer contributions, business income tax, withholding tax on other payments or VAT.

EverydayWhat does payroll tax do in OPleo?

It estimates income tax withholding on an employee’s salary and includes that estimate in payroll calculations.

Accountant detail and review notes

The schedule applies annual progressive bands to annualized taxable salary, then converts the result to a payroll-period amount. It is a withholding estimate; it does not prepare a return, submit a payment, or determine every employee-specific adjustment.

EverydayCan I use payroll tax settings outside Pakistan?

Yes. Starter income-tax schedules are available for the UK (including separate Scotland bands), US federal single filers, India’s new regime, Australia resident income tax, Canada federal income tax, France, Germany, Austria, Estonia 2026 resident employee income-tax with an €8,400 basic exemption and unemployment-insurance estimate, Latvia 2026 employee PIT with the fixed allowance and social-insurance estimate, Lithuania 2026 employee income tax with the annual NPD and social-insurance contribution estimate, Malta 2026 resident single-person income-tax rates, Republika Srpska Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina 2026 employment income, Croatia 2026 employment income for Rijeka, and Norway 2026 resident employment income, Finland 2026 Helsinki wage-tax example, and Iceland 2026 resident wage withholding, and Slovenia 2026 resident employment income, Serbia 2026 resident employment income, Poland 2026 employee income with social/health contributions, Romania 2026 employee income tax with pension and health contributions, Greece 2026 employee income for age over 30 with no dependent children, Denmark 2026 Copenhagen employment income, Sweden 2026 SINK for eligible non-resident employees, Mexico 2026 resident employee ISR with the employment subsidy, Türkiye 2026 wage income tax with employee premium deductions and the minimum-wage exemption, a representative Spain income-tax estimate, Slovakia employment income, Hungary 2026 resident employment income with employee social security, UAE employment income, Brazil 2026 monthly employee withholding, New Zealand 2026/27 PAYE, Saudi employment income, Qatar zero salary income tax, Singapore resident income tax for 2026 income (YA 2027), Switzerland federal direct tax for 2026 single filers, South Africa 2026/27 under-65 PAYE with an employee UIF estimate, Ireland 2026 single-employee PAYE with standard USC, and Netherlands 2026 Box 1 employment income below AOW age with general and employment credits, Cyprus 2026 individual income tax, Italy 2026 national IRPEF, Portugal 2026 mainland resident IRS, Belgium 2026 national personal income tax, Luxembourg 2026 tax class 1, Japan 2026 resident national income tax, South Korea 2026 resident wage-earner income and local tax, Malta 2026 resident single-person income-tax rates, Hong Kong 2026/27 salaries tax with an employee MPF estimate, Czechia 2026 employee income tax with social and health contributions, Bulgaria 2026 employee income tax with employee social/health contributions.

Accountant detail and review notes

Each preset has a defined country, tax period and currency. One schedule is selected per workspace. It does not automatically calculate all state, provincial, local, social-insurance or employer contributions. France's preset applies the 2026 assessment bands to one household share; family quotient, credits and social contributions need separate review. Croatia’s 2026 starter is specific to Rijeka because Croatian cities and municipalities set local income-tax rates. Norway is not an EU member and its tax schedule is separate. Finland uses Vero’s 2026 Helsinki wage-tax example points for a 17–64-year-old church member with one wage income and no dependent children; amounts between published points are interpolated and are estimates only. Employee pension and unemployment contributions are estimated at 8.19%. Europe is not one tax jurisdiction; choose a country and region and configure a reviewed schedule.

EverydayDoes the US preset include state income tax?

No. It estimates federal single-filer income tax and employee FICA, but not state or local income tax.

Accountant detail and review notes

The US preset includes estimated employee Social Security and Medicare (FICA) using 2026 rates, wage base and additional Medicare withholding threshold. It excludes state and local income taxes, W-4 adjustments, prior-employer year-to-date wages, credits and other deductions. Both federal income tax and FICA are annualized estimates, not the IRS per-pay-period withholding tables.

EverydayIs there one tax rate for Europe?

No. Tax rates and payroll contributions are set by each country, and sometimes vary by region within a country.

Accountant detail and review notes

The UK has a 2026/27 starter for England, Wales and Northern Ireland and a separate Scotland schedule with its own bands; both include an annualized category A employee National Insurance estimate. France, Germany, Austria, Poland, Spain, Slovakia, Hungary, Czechia, Bulgaria, Romania, Greece and Switzerland have scoped European schedules; Denmark has a 2026 Copenhagen municipal-tax estimate, and other municipalities differ; the Netherlands has a 2026 Box 1 estimate for employees below the AOW age that combines income tax with national-insurance premiums. South Africa has a separate 2026/27 tax-year schedule, and Ireland has a 2026 single-employee PAYE/USC estimate. Cyprus has 2026 individual income-tax bands; GHS and social-insurance contributions are separate. Italy has 2026 national IRPEF bands; regional/municipal surtaxes and INPS are separate. Portugal has a 2026 mainland resident IRS estimate; island schedules and household-specific adjustments are separate.

Japan has a 2026 resident national income-tax estimate with salary and basic deductions; local inhabitant tax and social-insurance deductions are excluded. Other European countries need their own reviewed schedules. Canada is federal-only outside Quebec. Brazil and New Zealand schedules are described in their country-specific guidance, and the UAE and Saudi Arabia have zero personal income tax on employment income, while Singapore has a resident individual schedule for 2026 income (YA 2027). Switzerland’s built-in estimate is federal only; cantons and municipalities set additional taxes. OPleo’s custom bracket editor does not automatically add social insurance, regional surtaxes, or family-specific relief.

EverydayWhich tax year should I choose?

Choose the tax year that applies to the payroll period, country, and region, then verify its current official schedule.

Accountant detail and review notes

Pakistan TY2026/TY2027 use July-to-June periods; the UK and India presets start in April, while the US, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Republika Srpska and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia (Rijeka), Norway, Finland (Helsinki), Iceland, Slovenia, Serbia, Saudi, Qatar, Cyprus, Italy, Portugal, Belgium, Luxembourg and Japan schedules use calendar years. South Korea and Hungary use calendar-year schedules; Hong Kong’s 2026/27 schedule starts in April 2026; Czechia uses a calendar-year schedule. The preset configures the period boundaries. Confirm later amendments before processing payroll.

EverydayWhy can the tax estimate be different from an employee’s payslip?

The estimate depends on annual taxable salary, the selected year, and payroll frequency.

Accountant detail and review notes

Include taxable benefits and other annual salary components in the employee’s additional annual taxable salary input. Other income, tax credits, prior deductions, exemptions, mid-year changes, and employee-specific circumstances may require manual reconciliation.

EverydayDoes OPleo calculate sales tax on invoices automatically?

No. You choose whether invoice items are taxable and set the arithmetic tax rate.

Accountant detail and review notes

The invoice setting does not decide whether a supply is taxable, which federal or provincial regime applies, or what rate is legally due. Confirm registration, place of supply, product/service classification, and current rules with a qualified adviser.

EverydayCan I use OPleo to file my tax return or pay FBR?

No. OPleo’s payroll tax feature calculates an estimate; it does not file returns or remit tax.

Accountant detail and review notes

Use official FBR systems and records for filing, payment, withholding statements, and statutory reporting. Keep supporting payroll and employee records for reconciliation.

AccountantHow does the salary tax estimate handle progressive bands?

It applies the selected annual tax schedule to annualized taxable salary, including each applicable band’s base tax and marginal rate.

Accountant detail and review notes

Select the matching jurisdiction, tax year, period, and currency in workspace settings. Payroll-period withholding is derived from the annual estimate; review employee-specific inputs and reconcile actual deductions against statutory obligations.

AccountantWhat inputs should I validate before approving payroll withholding?

Validate tax year, currency, salary frequency, taxable benefits, additional annual salary, and employee changes during the year.

Accountant detail and review notes

Also reconcile prior withholding, exemptions, credits, arrears, joining/leaving dates, and any manual adjustments. The estimator does not infer eligibility for credits or exemptions and is not a substitute for applying the complete law and employee facts.

AccountantCan I edit tax bands or use a different currency?

Yes. Workspace settings allow you to edit the schedule and currency.

Accountant detail and review notes

Treat custom schedules as administrator-maintained configuration. Record the authoritative source, effective period, tax year, and approval in your internal process; changing a schedule affects calculations that use it.

AccountantWhat should I do when tax law or a rate schedule changes?

Check the latest official authority schedule, update the applicable jurisdiction preset, and review affected payroll calculations.

Accountant detail and review notes

OPleo’s presets are a starting point for their stated scope and tax years. If a later amendment changes rates or treatment, confirm the effective date and configure/recalculate payroll as appropriate. Preserve prior payroll records and document any adjustment process.

Check the source before you file.

Tax rules change, and an individual result depends on the full facts. Confirm rates and obligations against the current FBR withholding tax rate cards and consult a qualified tax adviser for filing decisions.

Setup guide

Configure and review tax calculations

01

Choose the country and tax year

In workspace settings, select a schedule that matches the employee population, tax year, jurisdiction and payroll currency. The selected schedule sets the tax-period start and year convention.

02

Confirm jurisdiction and currency

A workspace uses one payroll-tax jurisdiction schedule at a time. UK bands differ in Scotland; US state and local taxes and European country variations need separate reviewed schedules. Document the source and effective dates for custom schedules.

03

Enter complete taxable salary

Include regular salary and other annual taxable salary, such as relevant taxable benefits and allowances. Incomplete inputs produce an incomplete estimate.

04

Review and reconcile payroll

Check the estimate against employee circumstances, prior deductions, arrears, credits, exemptions and current official rules before approval. OPleo does not file or remit tax.

05

Set invoice tax separately

Invoice tax rates are independent of payroll withholding. Confirm the rate and tax treatment for each supply and jurisdiction.

Payroll tax guide

Country-specific annual payroll-tax estimates

The estimate applies the selected year’s annual bands to annualized taxable salary and derives monthly withholding. Allowances, rebates and additional levies apply where included in a preset. Enter other taxable salary components for the employee as well.

A workspace uses one configured tax jurisdiction at a time. Employees in other countries or currencies are not automatically assigned a different schedule. Europe has no single tax schedule: select the country and region and configure a reviewed schedule.

These presets estimate payroll tax and listed statutory premiums within their stated scope. The US preset also estimates employee FICA, the UK preset estimates standard category A employee Class 1 NI, Canada estimates federal tax plus CPP/EI outside Quebec, Slovakia estimates employee social/health insurance, South Africa estimates under-65 PAYE after the primary rebate plus employee UIF, Ireland estimates 2026 PAYE after standard credits plus standard USC, Hungary estimates 15% resident employment income tax plus an 18.5% employee social-security contribution, Hong Kong estimates 2026/27 salaries tax plus employee MPF, and Czechia estimates 2026 employee income tax plus social and health contributions; these contribution components use annualized wages and can differ from statutory per-pay-period withholding. The presets do not file returns, remit tax, or automatically calculate US state/local tax, Canadian provincial/territorial tax, Quebec payroll contributions, Slovakia reduced health rates and personal/family reliefs, UAE national pension/social insurance, Hungarian family/personal allowances and insured-status variations, Hong Kong family allowances and deductions beyond the basic allowance, Czech minimum health-insurance bases and other personal reliefs, Brazil dependants and separate 13th salary/vacation withholding, New Zealand secondary tax codes and individual credits, Singapore personal reliefs and CPF relief, other UK NI categories, European social insurance, Saudi GOSI, Qatar pension/social insurance, Australian family-specific Medicare levy reductions and surcharge, employer contributions, Switzerland cantonal/municipal tax and statutory rounding, South Africa age-based rebates and monthly PAYE tables, Irish PRSI and MyFutureFund, Netherlands AOW-age variations and partner/other-income credit interactions, Italy regional/municipal surtaxes and INPS, Portugal island schedules and household-specific adjustments, Belgium employee social contributions and professional expenses plus regional/municipal taxes, or all individual reliefs.
