Current Tax Brackets and Rates (As of 2024)
| Monthly Income (ETB) | Tax Rate | Deduction (ETB) |
|---|---|---|
| 0 - 600 | 0% | 0 |
| 601 - 1,650 | 10% | 60 |
| 1,651 - 3,200 | 15% | 142.50 |
| 3,201 - 5,250 | 20% | 302.50 |

| 7,801 - 10,900 | 30% | 955 |
| Above 10,900 | 35% | 1,500 |
How Income Tax is Calculated
The calculation process follows these steps:
- Determine gross monthly income (salary and other taxable benefits)
- Subtract the 7% pension contribution
- Identify the applicable tax bracket for the remaining amount
- Apply the tax rate and subtract the deduction amount
- The result is your monthly income tax obligation
Example: For a monthly salary of 5,000 ETB: - Pension deduction: 350 ETB (7% of 5,000) - Taxable income: 4,650 ETB - Falls in 20% bracket - Tax = (4,650 * 20%) - 302.50 = 627.50 ETB
Important Considerations
- Taxable Benefits: Some employment benefits are subject to tax and should be included in calculations
- Pension Deduction: The 7% pension contribution is mandatory for eligible employees
- Annual Income: While tax is calculated monthly, consider your annual income for financial planning
- Tax Relief: Some expenses and contributions may qualify for tax relief
- Documentation: Keep records of your income and tax payments for future reference
