December reconciliation

December PPh 21 calculation generally reconciles annual tax under Article 17 rates against cumulative Jan–Nov withholding using TER methodology.PP 58/2023; PMK 168/PMK.010/2023.

Monthly e-Bupot PPh 21/26

Generally due by the 20th of the following month through the applicable DJP electronic tax administration system (Coretax/e-Bupot)UU KUP Art. 3(3); PMK 81/2024 as amended by PMK 1/2026 |; note: UU KUP as amended by UU HPP No. 7/2021.

No-NPWP surcharge

Employees without an NPWP (tax ID number) are subject to an additional 20% surcharge on the calculated PPh 21 liabilityper `steevenz/id-payroll-calculator` `Pph21.php`

Additional rules

Maximum 3 dependents (tanggungan) are recognized; If wife's income is combined (penghasilan digabung), add an additional IDR 54,000,000

Exemption for minimum wage earners

Employees earning at or below the province minimum wage are exempt from biaya jabatan (per `steevenz/id-payroll-calculator` logic).

JP contribution cap example

When salary exceeds the wage ceiling, contributions are calculated on the ceiling amount, not actual salary. Example: for salary IDR 15,000,000, employer JP = 2% × 10,547,400 = IDR 210,948; employee JP = 1% × 10,547,400 = IDR 105,474.

Payer and rate basis

Paid entirely by the employer. Rate depends on the company's industry risk grade.

JKP funding and impact

JKP was introduced by PP 37/2021 (effective February 2022). The 0.46% is funded jointly: 0.22% from employer contribution reallocated from JKK/JKM, 0.14% from government, and 0.10% from reallocation of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan surplus. **No additional payroll deduction for employer or employee.** This program is listed for completeness but does not change the payroll calculation.

TER scheme applicability

Since 1 January 2024, monthly PPh 21 withholding for permanent employees uses the TER scheme (PP 58/2023, PMK 168/2023) instead of the old cumulative method.PP 58/2023, PMK 168/2023

How TER works

1. Months January–November: PPh 21 = Gross Monthly Income × TER rate 2. December (or final month of employment): recalculate full-year liability using progressive brackets (Section 2), then subtract all TER withheld in months 1–11

December recalculation steps

Step 1: Gross annual income (gaji + tunjangan tetap + overtime + bonus + THR) Step 2: − Biaya jabatan (5%, max IDR 6,000,000/year) Step 3: − Iuran pensiun (employee JP contribution, if applicable) Step 4: = Penghasilan Neto (net income) Step 5: − PTKP (based on marital/dependent status) Step 6: = PKP (Penghasilan Kena Pajak / taxable income) Step 7: Apply progressive brackets (Section 2) → PPh 21 terutang (annual liability) Step 8: − TER amounts withheld Jan–Nov Step 9: = PPh 21 for December (or refund if negative)

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

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

Who must file

All resident individuals with income above the PTKP threshold must file an annual SPT.

Section 8 — TER (Tarif Efektif Rata-rata / Average Effective Rate)

  • TER scheme applicability — Since 1 January 2024, monthly PPh 21 withholding for permanent employees uses the TER scheme (PP 58/2023, PMK 168/2023) instead of the old cumulative method. (PP 58/2023, PMK 168/2023)
  • How TER works — 1. Months January–November: PPh 21 = Gross Monthly Income × TER rate 2. December (or final month of employment): recalculate full-year liability using progressive brackets (Section 2), then subtract all TER withheld in months 1–11

Section 9 — Annual PPh 21 computation method (December recalculation)

  • December recalculation steps — Step 1: Gross annual income (gaji + tunjangan tetap + overtime + bonus + THR) Step 2: − Biaya jabatan (5%, max IDR 6,000,000/year) Step 3: − Iuran pensiun (employee JP contribution, if applicable) Step 4: = Penghasilan Neto (net income) Step 5: − PTKP (based on marital/dependent status) Step 6: = PKP (Penghasilan Kena Pajak / taxable income) Step 7: Apply progressive brackets (Section 2) → PPh 21 terutang (annual liability) Step 8: − TER amounts withheld Jan–Nov Step 9: = PPh 21 for December (or refund if negative)

Section 10 — Worked example: monthly payroll calculation

Scenario: Permanent employee (pegawai tetap), single with no dependents (TK/0), has NPWP. Monthly base salary IDR 10,000,000. Company risk grade 2 (low). No overtime, no bonuses this month.
