Frequently Asked Questions
How is ISR withheld from a salary in Mexico in 2026?
Employers apply the monthly tariff of article 96 of the Income Tax Law (LISR), published by SAT in Anexo 8 of the Resolución Miscelánea Fiscal 2026 (DOF 28 December 2025). Rates run from 1.92% to 35%, each applied to the income above the bracket’s lower limit plus a fixed fee. The 2026 limits were raised by about 13.21% for inflation. The SAT file itself could not be opened when we checked, so the rows were verified against several reproductions of the annex and that 13.21% update.
What is the subsidio para el empleo in 2026?
It is an employment subsidy that reduces ISR for monthly incomes up to MX$ 11,492.66. From February 2026 it is 15.02% of the monthly UMA (MX$ 535.65); in January 2026 it was 15.59% of the 2025 UMA. It can only reduce your ISR to zero and is never paid out in cash.
What IMSS quotas does the employee pay?
On the base salary (SBC): 0.25% cash benefits, 0.375% pensioners’ medical expenses, 0.625% disability and life, 1.125% severance in old age and old age (cesantía y vejez), plus 0.40% sickness and maternity on the part above 3 UMA. The base is capped at 25 UMA. If you earn only the minimum wage, your employer pays your share.
Why is my real payslip different?
This calculator treats your gross salary as your IMSS base salary (SBC). Real payroll integrates aguinaldo, vacation premium and other benefits into the SBC with an integration factor, often uses daily or bimonthly figures, and may pay weekly or every 15 days. Aguinaldo, PTU, overtime and state payroll tax are not included.
Is this an official SAT or IMSS calculator?
No. This is an estimate, not official tax advice. It uses the published SAT tariff, the subsidy decree and IMSS quota rates, but your employer’s payroll can differ, so check your CFDI payslip or ask SAT, IMSS or HR.
What does the employer pay on top?
IMSS employer quotas (a fixed 20.40% of the UMA for sickness and maternity plus percentage quotas), 2% SAR retirement, 5% INFONAVIT and the employer cesantía y vejez rate, which in 2026 runs from 3.150% to 7.513% depending on the salary and keeps rising each year until 2030. Work-risk insurance (riesgos de trabajo) and state payroll tax (ISN) vary by company and state and are not included.
