Enter the salary as in your contract: basic pay plus fixed allowances.
A non-resident does not get the exempt band of 360,000 pounds a year.
The Social Insurance Act defines a worker as a Sudanese person, so we do not deduct social insurance for non-Sudanese workers.
These allowances are tax exempt up to 5% of the total monthly salary (Administrative Decision No. 5 of 2022).

Worked example

An expat employee earning 500,000 Sudanese pounds a month, 6,000,000 a year:

  1. Personal income tax: 990,000 SDG a year (82,500 a month).
  2. Take-home pay = 6,000,000 minus 990,000 = 5,010,000 SDG a year, or 417,500 a month.
  • We exempted 300,000 pounds a year (5% of the total salary) as transport, representation and cost-of-living allowances, under Administrative Decision No. 5 of 2022. If your salary does not include these allowances, untick this option.
  • We did not deduct social insurance because the Act defines an insured worker as a Sudanese person.

Official sources

Every figure in this calculator comes from these sources, last checked on 9 October 2026. The brackets are confirmed by the Taxation Chamber and Council of Ministers documents themselves, but we found no decision more recent than 2022, nor anything ruling one out, and the war has stopped many official websites from being updated. The social insurance rates come from the text of the Act as reproduced on an unofficial legal website; we could not reach the National Social Insurance Fund website. We apply the allowances exemption up to 5% of the total salary (Administrative Decision No. 5 of 2022) as the Comprehensive Reference on Taxes in Sudan 2026 does in all its examples, but we did not find the text of the decision itself on the Taxation Chamber website; it can be switched off in the calculator options. We did not apply zakat, and our treatment of non-residents is our own reading, because the circular does not say which rate applies to the first band. The exchange rate used is the commercial banks' average for March 2026; the parallel market rate is much weaker.
