How to use Kazakhstan Income Tax Calculator
This Kazakhstan income tax calculator estimates your individual income tax (ИПН / IPN) based on your income and the tax year you select (2023, 2024, 2025 or 2026 — 2026 is the latest). For 2023 to 2025 Kazakhstan applied a flat 10% rate; the new Tax Code (Law No. 120-VI of 18 July 2025) replaces it from 1 January 2026 with a two-rate progressive scale: 10% on taxable income up to 8,500 MCI (KZT 36,762,500) and 15% above. The basic deduction rises to 30 MCI per month (KZT 1,557,000 a year). The calculator also models the 10% OPV pension and 2% VOSMS medical contributions, then shows your effective rate, marginal rate, a bracket breakdown and your take-home in tenge.
- Select your tax year (2023, 2024, 2025, or 2026) — 2026 applies the new progressive scale.
- Enter your annual gross income in tenge (KZT).
- Keep the filing status as Individual — Kazakhstan assesses IPN per person.
- Click Calculate to see your IPN, effective rate and marginal rate.
- Review the bracket breakdown and your take-home after OPV and VOSMS.

The 2026 progressive reform
The new Tax Code (Law No. 120-VI, signed 18 July 2025) takes effect on 1 January 2026 and is enacted, not merely proposed. It replaces the flat 10% individual income tax with a two-rate progressive scale: taxable income up to 8,500 MCI is taxed at 10% and the excess at 15%. With the 2026 MCI of KZT 4,325, the 8,500 MCI threshold equals KZT 36,762,500 of annual taxable income. The basic deduction also rises from 14 to 30 MCI per month — an annual KZT 1,557,000 — and the old 90% reduction for low incomes is removed.
OPV and VOSMS employee contributions
Kazakhstan employees pay a mandatory pension contribution (ОПВ / OPV) of 10% of gross, with income capped at 50× the minimum monthly wage (KZT 85,000 in 2026, so KZT 51,000,000 a year), and a medical insurance contribution (ВОСМС / VOSMS) of 2% of gross, capped at 20× the minimum monthly wage (KZT 20,400,000 a year). Both are withheld from pay and are deductible from the IPN base. For simplicity this tool applies the scale to gross minus the basic deduction and shows OPV and VOSMS separately, so the income-tax line is an upper bound.
Effective versus marginal tax rate
Your effective tax rate is your total IPN divided by total income — your true average. Your marginal rate is the rate on your next tenge. Because most salaries fall below the 8,500 MCI threshold, the marginal rate is 10% and the effective rate is a little under 10% once the basic deduction is applied. Only taxable income above KZT 36,762,500 reaches the 15% marginal band, so high earners see a higher effective rate.
