Bonuses and one-off payments

optional
No payments — the ledger uses the salary alone.
A bonus is the same income in the annual tax base. A large annual bonus can by itself push you into a higher rate in the month it is paid.
gross onlyPayment amounts are entered as accruals before tax — that is how they appear in the bonus order.

About progressive income tax

Since 2025 Russia has a five-step progressive income tax — 13, 15, 18, 20 and 22%. The rate depends on cumulative income from the start of the year, and the higher percentage applies only to the amount above the threshold. The first 2.4 million roubles are always taxed at 13%.

How progression works

Mechanics
2.4M → 15%
Income is counted cumulatively from January. Once the total passes a step threshold, the excess is taxed at the higher rate — only the excess, not the whole income.

Why take-home changes mid-year

Key point
oct · −2%
With a fixed salary, crossing the threshold means less money after tax. That is why take-home in November can be lower than in May.

Thresholds 2026

Steps
2.4 / 5 / 20 / 50M
Five steps: 13% up to 2.4M, 15% up to 5M, 18% up to 20M, 20% up to 50M, 22% above. Thresholds are annual.

What counts as the base

Scope
salary + bonuses
The salary progression includes salary, bonuses, vacation pay and contractor payments. Dividends, deposits and property sales are separate bases and are not counted here.

Gross and net

Terms
net = gross − tax
Gross is before tax, net is take-home. Backwards: gross = net / (1 − rate). Once a threshold is crossed the reverse calculation is approximate.

Contributions are not from your pay

Myths
on top, up to 30%
Employer contributions are paid on top of the salary; they are not withheld from your pay and do not affect take-home.

Frequently asked questions

The rate depends on income from the start of the year, not on the monthly salary. The 15% rate starts above 2.4 million roubles of cumulative income — roughly 200,000 roubles a month. At exactly 200,000 the switch never happens.
