How to use Mozambique Income Tax Calculator
This Mozambique income tax calculator works out Mozambican income tax on a progressive 10/15/20/25/32 scale for 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. Income tax is charged on your salary after personal and family deductions, and the bands have been stable across these years. The calculator shows your income tax, your effective rate and your take-home pay in metical, 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: Mozambique salary forecasting should distinguish statutory deductions from tax-band outcomes and normalize irregular payments before comparing offers across years.

How Mozambique income tax is calculated
Mozambique taxes employment income on a progressive 10/15/20/25/32 scale, applied after personal and family deductions. 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 Mozambique 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 Autoridade Tributaria de Mocambique or a licensed tax adviser.
