How to use Vanuatu Income Tax Calculator

This Vanuatu income tax calculator confirms that Vanuatu levies no personal income tax for 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026, so salaries are free of income tax.

Why Vanuatu has no personal income tax

Vanuatu levies no personal income tax, no payroll tax and no capital gains tax on individuals; the government is funded by VAT, import duties and fees. Income tax is modelled as a single 0% bracket spanning all income, identical across 2023 to 2026, so whatever salary you enter the income tax is zero.

Provident fund, not income tax

In practice employees contribute 4% of wages to the Vanuatu National Provident Fund (VNPF), but this is a personal saving, not an income tax; it is documented but not deducted. The vatu is shown without decimals. Consult the Department of Customs and Inland Revenue for confirmation.
