Your employer will also pay a separate 4% employer social security contribution, though this does not affect your take-home pay calculation.

How is my take-home pay calculated after taxes and contributions?
Your take-home pay is calculated by starting with your gross income, deducting the 3% Employee Social Security Contribution, applying the progressive income tax brackets, subtracting personal and bracket-based deductions, and then deducting the 510 MZN Maputo municipal tax. The calculator shows you exactly how much you will receive after all these deductions are applied.
