The rules it applies
- • NIS is the fixed amount of the earnings class your weekly-equivalent wage falls into — not a percentage, so it steps between classes.
- • Earnings above the highest class are not contributory.
- • PAYE annualises the period, takes off the personal allowance and 70 % of the employee NIS, then taxes the rest at 25 % up to TTD 1,000,000 and 30 % above it.
- • The Health Surcharge is a flat weekly amount, banded on earnings, converted to your pay frequency.
2026 · PAYE 25%/30% · 70% of NIS deductible · Health Surcharge 8.25 / 4.8 TTD weekly
