About this Puerto Rico paycheck calculator

Enter your gross salary (annual, monthly, biweekly, or hourly), select your filing status, and see an estimated breakdown of every paycheck deduction: Puerto Rico income tax (progressive brackets from 0% to 33%), FICA Social Security (6.2% on the first $168,600), FICA Medicare (1.45% plus the 0.9% additional Medicare tax on wages over $200,000), SINOT disability insurance, and the Choferil driver insurance contribution.

This calculator provides estimates based on publicly available 2025–2026 tax schedules published by Hacienda de Puerto Rico. Your actual take-home pay depends on personal exemptions, additional deductions, Act 60/Act 22 decrees, and employer-specific withholding. Always consult a licensed CPA or tax professional for exact figures. All calculations run in your browser — your salary information never leaves your device.

FAQ

Do Puerto Rico residents pay US federal income tax?

Generally no. Bona fide residents of Puerto Rico are exempt from US federal income tax on Puerto Rico-sourced income. However, they do pay FICA taxes (Social Security and Medicare), and income from sources outside Puerto Rico may be subject to federal tax. This calculator covers PR-specific deductions only.

How accurate is this calculator?

It provides a reasonable estimate based on published tax brackets and rates. Actual withholding depends on your W-4PR exemptions, additional deductions (retirement contributions, health insurance), and any special tax decrees. Use it for planning, not for filing.

What is SINOT and Choferil?

SINOT (Seguro por Incapacidad No Ocupacional Temporal) is a temporary disability insurance deduction of 0.3% on the first $9,000 of annual wages. Choferil (Seguro Social de Chofer) is a flat contribution of approximately $1.50 per month for driver insurance.
