How to use Cambodia Income Tax Calculator
This Cambodia income tax calculator works out Cambodian income tax on a progressive 0/5/10/15/20 scale for 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. Income tax is charged on your salary after a tax-free threshold of KHR 18,000,000, and the bands have been stable across these years. The calculator shows your income tax, your effective rate and your take-home pay in riel, and lets you compare any two tax years side by side. Mandatory social-security or pension contributions, where they apply, are documented but not deducted, so take-home is shown after income tax only. Jurisdiction note: Cambodia payroll planning should account for monthly-to-annual conversion effects, including treatment of benefits in kind and non-cash compensation that may shift taxable employment income.
- Select your tax year (2023, 2024, 2025 or 2026).

How Cambodia income tax is calculated
Cambodia taxes employment income on a progressive 0/5/10/15/20 scale, applied after a tax-free threshold of KHR 18,000,000. The calculator adds up the tax due in each band to give your total income tax, then divides by gross salary to show your effective rate. Because the bands have been unchanged across 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026, the calculator returns consistent results for each of those years, which you can confirm with the year-comparison view.
Social security and what is not included
On top of income tax, employees in Cambodia generally pay mandatory social-security or pension contributions on their earnings. These fund pensions and related benefits and are separate from income tax. To keep the calculation transparent, they are documented in the configuration notes but not deducted here, so take-home is shown after income tax only. For your exact position, including any extra reliefs or contributions, check with the General Department of Taxation or a licensed tax adviser.
