For guidance only. These figures mirror the statutory contributions as PunchClock payroll applies them for Antigua & Barbuda. They are not income tax advice, rates and ceilings change, and your employer may apply different company rules. Check anything that matters with the Antigua & Barbuda Social Security Board, the Medical Benefits Scheme and the Inland Revenue Department.
Enter a gross wage, the pay period and (if it matters) the employee's age, and this calculator shows the three statutory lines on an Antigua & Barbuda payslip, the employer contributions alongside them, the net pay and the total employer cost. It applies the same rules PunchClock uses to run payroll for Antigua companies, with the current rates and caps read from PunchClock's payroll settings, in Eastern Caribbean dollars.
Social Security is a percentage of gross from the employee with a larger employer percentage, both capped each pay period at the insurable-earnings ceiling. Medical Benefits is a flat percentage of gross with no cap, matched by the employer; employees aged 60 and over pay a reduced rate, which is why the calculator asks for age. The Education Levy is employee-only and marginal: nothing on the first slice of pay, a lower rate on the next band and a higher rate above the top band, so only the pay inside each band is charged at that band's rate.
Use it to check a payslip line by line, to quote a take-home figure when hiring, or to see what a salary actually costs the business once the employer side is added. The assumptions list under the table says exactly what was included, and the Rules panel shows the rates, caps and bands behind every figure.
Background reading: Sick pay explained
Three statutory lines: Social Security (employee share, with the employer paying a higher share), Medical Benefits (a flat percentage, matched by the employer, reduced at age 60+) and the Education Levy (employee only, in bands). Antigua & Barbuda has no personal income tax on wages. Company deductions such as loans or uniforms are separate.
Medical Benefits contributions drop to a reduced rate for employees aged 60 and over. Leave age blank and the standard rate is used; enter 60 or more and the lower rate applies to the employee and the matching employer amount.
In bands. The first slice of pay (the exemption) is levy-free, pay from the exemption up to the upper band is charged at the lower rate, and pay above the upper band at the higher rate. Only the pay inside each band is taxed at that band's rate, so crossing a band does not re-tax the pay below it.
Yes. Contributions are calculated on insurable earnings up to a ceiling, so both the employee and employer amounts stop rising once gross for the period reaches it. Medical Benefits has no cap.
They are the rates, caps and bands PunchClock payroll applies for Antigua & Barbuda, read live from its payroll settings and dated in the Rules panel. Confirm with the Social Security Board, the Medical Benefits Scheme and the Inland Revenue Department before relying on a figure.
