Annual taxable salary bands; monthly withholding (DZD)
Mandatory Algerian social insurance: generally 9% of gross covered pay.
Employer social-insurance charges are approximately 25.5%–26% of covered gross salary, depending on employment sector and the contribution branch.
Monthly wages of no more than DZD 30,000 are generally fully exempt from income tax. A statutory 40% tax abatement (within monthly limits) and an additional relief for salary between DZD 30,001 and 35,000 affect the actual deduction.
