Enter a salary in manat and this calculator applies the 2026 income tax schedule for a private-sector employee outside oil and gas. Salary in that sector was fully exempt from 2019 to 2025, but the exemption ended on 31 December 2025 and a 3%, 10% and 14% schedule now applies. Oil and gas and government employees are taxed on a different schedule and are not covered here.

Estimates for a single employee with standard allowances, calculated in your browser. Rates checked October 2026. Not tax advice.
From 1 January 2026, monthly salary in the non-oil private sector is taxed at 3% up to AZN 2,500, 10% from AZN 2,500 to AZN 8,000, and 14% above AZN 8,000. Annualised, those thresholds are AZN 30,000 and AZN 96,000, which is how the calculator applies them. The rates are already legislated to rise: the first band becomes 5% in 2027, and from 2028 the schedule is 7%, 10% and 14%. There is no personal allowance in this schedule.
Employees also pay three contributions. State social insurance is 3% on the first AZN 200 of monthly salary and 10% on the rest. Unemployment insurance is 0.5%. Mandatory health insurance is 2% of salary up to AZN 2,500 a month and 0.5% on the excess. In some cases the law charges monthly tax on salary net of contributions; this calculator taxes gross pay, so the figures are a slight upper bound.
