Net salary in Burkina Faso

Tax system in Burkina Faso

Burkina Faso taxes employment income through the IUTS (impot unique sur les traitements et salaires), a seven-band monthly scale from 0% to 25% (Direction Generale des Impots, article 112), shown here annualised. The taxable base (article 111) is the salaire de base minus the employee CNSS pension (5.5%, capped at 800,000 XOF per month) and minus a 25% professional-expenses abatement on the salaire de base, reduced to 20% for senior categories. This calculator treats the entered gross as the salaire de base; the family-charge tax reduction for dependants is not modelled. Ouagadougou is the capital and main employment centre for expatriate professionals in the country.
