What the calculator does
It uses the Malawi Revenue Authority’s monthly PAYE bands: the first K170,000 is tax free, the next K1,400,000 is taxed at 30%, the next K8,430,000 at 35%, and anything above K10 million at 40%. Each rate applies only to the slice of pay inside its band.
Put in your gross pay, before any deductions. The answer is PAYE only: pension, loans and other payslip deductions are not included. For the bands, worked examples and when employers pay MRA, read our PAYE tax bands guide. You can also check a figure on MRA’s own calculator at mra.mw.
