Income Tax (PPh 21)

Individual income tax, known as PPh 21, is a progressive tax, meaning higher earners pay higher percentages. As of 2026, the rates are as follows:

• Up to IDR 60 million: 5%
• IDR 60 million - IDR 250 million: 15%
• IDR 250 million - IDR 500 million: 25%
• IDR 500 million - IDR 5 billion: 30%
• Over IDR 5 billion: 35%

Non-Taxable Income (PTKP)

This is the income threshold below which no tax is due. As of 2026, the PTKP is:

• Single Individual: IDR 54,000,000 annually
• Married Individual: IDR 58,500,000 annually (additional IDR 4,500,000 for the spouse)
• Each Dependent Child (up to 3): Additional IDR 4,500,000 annually per child

Deductions

Several deductions can reduce the taxable income:

• Occupational Expenses: 5% of gross employment income, capped at IDR 6,000,000 per year. This covers work-related expenses.
• Pension Contributions: 1% of gross income, capped at IDR 90,776 per month.

Social Security Contributions

Employers are responsible for contributing to several social security programs:

• Health Insurance (BPJS Kesehatan): The employer's contribution is 4% of the employee's salary, up to a maximum limit of IDR 480,000.
• Work Accident Insurance (JKK): Rates vary based on risk level.
• Death Insurance (JKM): A small percentage of the employee's salary.
• Old-Age Pension (JHT): 2% of the employee's salary (employee's portion). The employer contributes an additional percentage. The total employer contributions are generally estimated at an additional 10.24% - 11.74%.

It's important to note that employer social security contributions form part of employee compensation but are not included in their take-home pay.

Tax Administration

• Taxpayer Identification Number (NPWP): All taxpayers, including employees, need an NPWP to file returns.
• Withholding: Employers withhold income tax monthly and remit it to the tax office.
• Annual Tax Return: Resident employees must file an annual tax return by March 31st of the following year.

Benefits in Kind (BIK)

Previously non-taxable, many benefits-in-kind are now included in taxable income. There are exceptions, including:

• Food and beverages provided to all employees
• Benefits for employees in remote areas
• Benefits for employee safety, health, and security (e.g., uniforms, safety equipment)
• Benefits funded by the government

Other Considerations

• Tax Treaties: Indonesia has tax treaties with various countries, impacting tax obligations for foreign employees.
• Non-Residents: Non-resident employees are taxed at a flat rate of 20% on Indonesian-sourced income. They are not required to register for NPWP or file an annual return, as the tax is finalized via withholding.
