Frequently asked questions
How is take-home salary calculated in Sri Lanka?
Your employer deducts 8% of gross salary for EPF and APIT (PAYE) income tax per the Inland Revenue Department tables. Take-home pay = gross salary − EPF (8%) − APIT. The employer additionally contributes 12% (EPF) and 3% (ETF) on top of your gross — that part never leaves your payslip but is part of your total cost to company.
What is the tax-free salary in Sri Lanka right now?
The personal relief is LKR 1,800,000 per year (LKR 150,000 per month). Below that, no APIT applies. Above it, progressive bands of 6%, 18%, 24%, 30% and 36% apply.
Is APIT the same as PAYE?
Yes — APIT (Advance Personal Income Tax) is the current name for the employer-deducted salary tax previously known as PAYE.
