Jordan social security and income tax in BYTE: on every payslip
BYTE works out the employee and employer social security contributions and the monthly income tax withholding, and shows each line on the payslip. Confirm the first payroll run with your accountant, because the statutory values are checked on a real payroll.
Last updated: 13 November 2026
What it covers
- Employee social security at 7.5% and employer social security at 14.25% of the contribution wage, at the rates in the law.
- Monthly income tax withholding for each employee, following the withholding table.
- A record of the tax paid over to the authority.
- Year-to-date tax and the employee tax certificate.
- A net-pay file in CSV, in a generic layout to check with your bank before you use it.
How it works
- Each month's run works out the contributions on the contribution wage.
- The monthly withholding is worked out for each employee.
- Each payslip shows the lines, so the employee can check them.
- At the end of the year, the year-to-date tax and the certificates are ready.
