🇧🇫 Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso taxes salaries through the IUTS (impot unique sur les traitements et salaires), a 7-band monthly scale from 0% to 25% (Direction Generale des Impots, Code General des Impots 2023, article 112), shown here annualised. The taxable base (article 111) is the salaire de base minus the employee CNSS pension and minus a 25% professional-expenses abatement on the salaire de base (reduced to 20% for senior categories). Employee CNSS pension is 5.5%, capped at a contributory ceiling of 800,000 XOF per month. This calculator treats the entered gross as the salaire de base. XOF (CFA Franc) is pegged to EUR at 655.957.

What the calculation reproduces, what it does not model
This calculator assumes the entered figure is entirely base salary (salaire de base), with no separate indemnities. Under article 111 the 25% professional abatement applies only to the salaire de base; housing, function and transport indemnities instead receive only the smaller capped exemptions of article 106. A real package that includes such indemnities is therefore taxed more than shown, so high earners with significant indemnities should read the displayed rate as a minimum. For the same reason the effective rate can appear to dip at very high figures: the 25% abatement is uncapped on the base salary, an artifact of the pure-base-salary assumption rather than a feature of real high-income taxation. The 20% abatement for senior categories (P, A, B) and the family-charge tax reduction (article 113: 8% to 14% of the tax for 1 to 4 dependants) are not modelled (single-filer, standard-category basis). The barème (article 112) is read from the 2023 code; confirm the current year against the latest loi de finances. For your situation, confirm with the DGI Burkina Faso.
