🇮🇩 Indonesia PPh 21 Calculator (Kalkulator PPh 21)

Work out your monthly Indonesian income tax (PPh 21) from gross salary for 2026 using the official TER method, plus BPJS contributions and your net take-home pay. Updated 2026 rates.

⚠️ Guidance only. This calculator uses the official 2026 TER tables (PMK 168/2023) for the monthly PPh 21 (Tarif Efektif Rata-rata × gross), the PTKP-to-category mapping, and the 2026 BPJS employee rates and ceilings (JP cap 11,086,300; Kesehatan cap 12,000,000). It shows the regular monthly figure for January–November; it does not model the December annual reconciliation (Article 17 progressive), tax-borne-by-employer (DTP/gross-up) schemes, irregular income such as THR/bonus in the month received, or non-taxable benefits. For payroll-exact figures consult your HR/payroll or a tax consultant.

How PPh 21 works in 2026 (the TER method)

Since January 2024, Indonesian employers withhold monthly income tax (PPh Pasal 21) using the TER method (Tarif Efektif Rata-rata, the average effective rate) introduced by PP 58/2023 and PMK 168/2023. For every month except the last, the tax is simply your gross monthly income × the TER rate for your category. In December the employer reconciles the whole year against the progressive Article 17 rates and adjusts the final month.

TER categories and PTKP

Your TER category comes from your PTKP status (Penghasilan Tidak Kena Pajak — the non-taxable allowance):
Category A — TK/0, TK/1, K/0 (allowance Rp54m or Rp58.5m).
Category B — TK/2, TK/3, K/1, K/2 (Rp63m or Rp67.5m).
Category C — K/3 (Rp72m).
Each category has its own table of effective rates that step up from 0% on low pay to 34% on very high pay. "TK" means single, "K" married, and the number is your dependents (children/relatives), capped at three.

2026 BPJS employee contributions

On top of tax, employees contribute to BPJS: JHT (old-age savings) 2% of wage, JP (pension) 1% capped at a wage of Rp11,086,300, and BPJS Kesehatan (health) 1% capped at a wage of Rp12,000,000. These reduce your take-home pay but, under the monthly TER method, are not subtracted before the TER is applied.
