How it works
Under the Workers' Rights Act 2019, the end-of-year bonus (13th month) is one twelfth of your total earnings for the year. Someone paid the same basic salary for 12 months gets one month's salary; someone who worked part of the year gets a pro-rata amount.
The bonus is taxable income. The PAYE shown is the extra income tax the bonus adds to your year, at the 2026/27 rates (0% up to Rs 500,000, 10% to Rs 1,000,000, 20% to Rs 12,000,000, 35% above). CSG and NSF are worked out on monthly basic salary, so they are not deducted from the bonus here. Your employer's cumulative PAYE may spread the tax differently.
