PAYE, NIS and the Health Surcharge
Payroll inTrinidad & Tobago
Payroll for Trinidadian employers — NIS, PAYE and the Health Surcharge.
What the payroll engine calculates for employers here, and what the salary calculator will show your employees.
What the engine does for this market
- 01
NIS as the fixed amount of the earnings class your weekly wage falls into — never a percentage of pay
- 02
PAYE with the 25%/30% bands and the personal allowance
- 03
The Health Surcharge, banded on earnings and flat within each band
- 04
Employer NIS shown as a separate cost, so you can see what an employee actually costs
- 05
The same per-employee calculation trace as every other market
Statutory declarations and bank payment files for Trinidad & Tobago are still being built. What is listed here is what the engine calculates today — it does not yet file or pay for this market.
Everything else — the platform, leave and time, security and pricing — is the same in every market, so it is not repeated here.
