How much of your pay will you keep?

Answer one quick question. The Cayman Islands has no income tax - we'll just take off the mandatory pension contribution, the one deduction on a Cayman Islands civil service payslip with a fixed rate.

Where your pay goes

    This is an estimate. It leaves out mandatory health insurance (cost varies by your employer's chosen plan, so it can't be calculated from a fixed rate), other allowances and voluntary deductions. Your payslip is the final word.

    How the deduction works

    Pension
    5% of gross pay (your employer pays a matching 5%), up to a pensionable-earnings ceiling of CI$87,000 a year. There is no income tax in the Cayman Islands.

    Pension rate and ceiling: confirmed against two independent Cayman Islands pension-plan sources under the National Pensions Law. See every grade's pay on the Cayman Islands pay scale page.
