What the withholding tax calculator does not do
- It does not know whether your client has to withhold, or at what rate, and there is no country list here on purpose. That depends on where each of you is, the kind of work and sometimes a tax treaty between the two countries, and a table of it on this page would be tax advice that goes out of date the day a rule changes.
- It does not say what happens to the amount withheld afterwards, such as whether it counts towards your own tax, or can be reduced or claimed back. Those are questions for your tax authority or your accountant. Keeping the certificate or slip your client gives you is what makes any of them possible.
- It does not keep anything. Nothing is written to your browser's storage while you use it and nothing is sent to us, so the figures are gone when you close the tab. Press Create this invoice if you need a document: the figures are handed to the invoice generator in this tab, cleared as soon as it opens, and saved there as a new invoice alongside any you already have.

A processor fee or an exchange spread takes a second bite out of the same payment, and the payment fee calculator works that out the same two ways. For the tax you add to an invoice rather than the tax taken from it, see the VAT calculator. For a whole invoice with lines and a deposit, use the invoice calculator.
