The SRI's 2026 table (Resolución NAC-DGERCGC25-00000043) taxes nothing up to $12,208, then charges 5%, 10%, 12%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35% and 37% above $109,956, each on the excess over the bracket's start plus a fixed amount for the brackets below.
What it leaves out. The décimo tercero and décimo cuarto (see the Ecuador Décimo Tercero and Décimo Cuarto Calculator), fondos de reserva, overtime, other income and the annual tax return.

An employee in private employment pays 9.45% of the salary to the IESS. Above about $1,124 a month the employer also withholds income tax, one twelfth of the year's tax by the SRI table. On $1,500 the IESS takes $141.75 and the tax $20.17, leaving $1,338.08 of take-home pay.
The 2026 SRI table taxes nothing up to $12,208 a year. After the 9.45% IESS contribution, twelve monthly salaries stay under that line up to about $1,124 a month, so lower salaries have no income tax withheld. The first bracket above it is taxed at 5%.
According to the IESS, a worker in private employment contributes 20.60% of pay in all: 9.45% personal, taken from the salary, and 11.15% paid by the employer on top. On $1,000 a month the worker pays $94.50 and the employer $111.50.
No. The décimo tercero and décimo cuarto are extra payments on top of the salary and are not part of this calculation. Use the Ecuador Décimo Tercero and Décimo Cuarto Calculator for them; this page shows the regular monthly salary after IESS and income tax.
