Chile sets its salary tax bands in a monthly inflation-linked unit, the UTM, which makes the peso thresholds move during the year. This calculator uses the September 2026 UTM of $71,721, annualises the monthly bands, and deducts pension, health and unemployment contributions up to their official ceilings.

The UTM (Unidad Tributaria Mensual) is a tax unit adjusted every month for inflation, and the employment tax table is written in it: no tax up to 13.5 UTM a month, then 4%, 8%, 13.5%, 23%, 30.4% and 35%, with the 40% top rate above 310 UTM a month. Converted at the September 2026 UTM of $71,721, the tax-free slice comes to $11,618,802 a year and the 40% rate starts at $266,802,120. A second unit, the UF, sets the contribution ceilings described below, so both units matter on a Chilean payslip.
Employees pay 10% into their pension fund (AFP), 7% for health insurance and 0.6% for unemployment insurance on an indefinite contract. Pension and health contributions are capped at 90 UF a month and unemployment insurance at 135.2 UF; at the UF value of $39,706.07 used here, those caps are $42,882,556 and $64,419,128 a year. The AFP also charges a commission of roughly 0.46% to 1.44% of salary on top of the 10%, which varies by fund and is not modelled. In practice the tax is charged on pay after contributions come off; this calculator applies the bands to gross pay, so its tax figures run modestly high at salaries where the ceilings bind.
