How your tax is calculated

ISR income tax runs from 1.92% at the bottom up to 35% at the top, and the rate that applies depends on what you earn through the year. Employee IMSS contributions are about 3%. Relief is small, so most of the planning happens in what your employer pays into the SAR and afores. Your marginal rate is 11% — every additional $1 you earn keeps roughly $0.89 after tax and IMSS.
