This calculator turns a Tanzanian gross monthly salary into PAYE and net pay, using the Tanzania Revenue Authority's rates for resident individuals and the NSSF's contribution rules.
The order of the deductions. The employee's pension share comes off first: TRA's own PAYE calculator asks for pay after the NSSF or PSSSF contribution. PAYE is then charged on what is left.
A worked example. TSh 1,500,000 a month with a 10% share: NSSF TSh 150,000, taxable pay TSh 1,350,000, PAYE TSh 233,000, net pay TSh 1,117,000.

Monthly taxable pay up to TSh 270,000 is not taxed. Above it TRA charges 8% up to TSh 520,000, 20% up to TSh 760,000, 25% up to TSh 1,000,000 and 30% on the rest. The tax at each step is TSh 20,000, 68,000 and 128,000.
Yes. TRA's own PAYE calculator asks for monthly pay after the NSSF or PSSSF contribution, so the employee's share comes off before tax. On TSh 1,500,000 a 10% share of TSh 150,000 leaves TSh 1,350,000 of taxable pay and TSh 233,000 of PAYE.
The Skills Development Levy is 3.5% of the gross pay of all employees, paid by employers with ten or more employees. It is an employer cost and is not deducted from the employee's salary, so TSh 1,500,000 of pay carries TSh 52,500 of SDL.
With NSSF at 10% the employee keeps TSh 1,117,000. NSSF takes TSh 150,000, and PAYE on the remaining TSh 1,350,000 is TSh 128,000 plus 30% of TSh 350,000, so TSh 233,000. The employer adds TSh 150,000 of NSSF and TSh 52,500 of SDL.
