## Indonesia Payroll — PPh 21 & BPJS Contributions Skill v1.1

> **2025 changes summary (v1.1 refresh):** PPh 21 monthly withholding continues under the TER system (PP 58/2023, PMK 168/2023 — Categories A/B/C by PTKP, year-end reconciliation under Article 17 brackets). From **1 July 2024**, Indonesian-citizen employees use their **16-digit NIK as NPWP**; foreign-national employees keep the 15-digit NPWP. From **1 January 2025**, all PPh 21 filings — monthly **SPT Masa PPh 21 / e-Bupot Unifikasi** and the **1721-A1 / 1721-A2** annual slips — flow through **Coretax DJP** (the legacy DJP Online e-Bupot 21/26 desktop app is being retired). See `id-einvoice-coretax` for the Coretax workflow.

## Section 2 — PPh 21 progressive tax brackets (Tarif Pasal 17 UU HPP)

Tax is computed on **Penghasilan Kena Pajak (PKP)** — taxable income after deductions and PTKP.

**PPh 21 progressive tax brackets**

- **No-NPWP surcharge** — Employees without an NPWP (tax ID number) are subject to an additional 20% surcharge on the calculated PPh 21 liability  _(per `steevenz/id-payroll-calculator` `Pph21.php`)_

## Section 3 — PTKP (Penghasilan Tidak Kena Pajak / Non-Taxable Income)

| JKM | 0.30% × 10,000,000 | 30,000 |
| **Total employer cost** |  | **1,054,000** |

### C — Employee deductions (withheld from salary)

**C — Employee deductions (withheld from salary)**

| Program | Rate | Amount (IDR) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| BPJS Kesehatan | 1.00% × 10,000,000 | 100,000 |

### D — Monthly PPh 21 withholding (TER method, Jan–Nov)

- **PPh 21 monthly (TER)** — Status TK/0 → TER Category A. Monthly gross = IDR 10,000,000. From TER Category A table: IDR 9,650,001 – 10,050,000 → rate = 2.00%. PPh 21 monthly (TER) = 10,000,000 × 2.00% = IDR 200,000

### E — Take-home pay

**E — Take-home pay**

| Component | Amount (IDR) |
| --- | --- |
| Monthly gross | 10,000,000 |
| − Employee BPJS | (400,000) |
| − PPh 21 (TER) | (200,000) |
| **Take-home pay** | **9,400,000** |

### F — December recalculation (annual true-up)

**F — December recalculation (annual true-up)**

| Step | Description | Amount (IDR) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Gross annual income | 10,000,000 × 12 | 120,000,000 |
| − Biaya jabatan | 5% × 120,000,000 = 6,000,000 (at cap) | (6,000,000) |
| − Iuran pensiun (JP employee) | 100,000 × 12 | (1,200,000) |
| **Penghasilan neto** |  | **112,800,000** |
| − PTKP (TK/0) |  | (54,000,000) |

**Annual tax on PKP of 58,800,000**

| Bracket | Taxable in bracket | Rate | Tax |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 0 – 58,800,000 | 58,800,000 | 5% | 2,940,000 |
| **Total PPh 21 annual** |  |  | **2,940,000** |

- **PPh 21 for December** — PPh 21 annual          = IDR 2,940,000 − TER withheld (Jan–Nov) = 200,000 × 11 = IDR 2,200,000 PPh 21 December        = IDR 740,000

## Section 11 — Payroll calculation methods

The `steevenz/id-payroll-calculator` supports three PPh 21 calculation methods:

**Payroll calculation methods**

| Method | Indonesian | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| NETT | Pajak ditanggung perusahaan | Employer bears the tax; employee receives full salary |
| GROSS | Pajak ditanggung karyawan | Employee bears the tax; PPh 21 deducted from salary |
| GROSS-UP | Tunjangan pajak | Employer adds a tax allowance equal to the PPh 21 liability, then deducts it — net effect same as NETT but appears on payslip |

| Company risk grade unknown | Use grade 2 (0.54%) as default; flag for confirmation |
| Employee permanent status unclear | Treat as permanent (pegawai tetap); flag for reviewer |
| Salary above JP cap | Cap JP contributions at IDR 10,547,400 wage basis |
| TER category unclear | Use Category A (most conservative); flag for reviewer |
| BPJS Kesehatan dependents > 5 | Add 1% deduction per extra dependent; confirm family count |
| Bonus / THR month | Include in gross for TER calculation that month; December true-up will reconcile |
| Mid-year joiner | Pro-rate PTKP for partial year; apply TER monthly as normal |
