Rates by payment type
| key | label | rate | applies to | effective from | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| dividends | Dividends (revenus distribués) | 15 | distributed profits paid to non-resident shareholders (companies and individuals); branch profits remitted abroad by an Algerian branch to its foreign head office are assimilated to distributed profits and bear the same 15% | 2022-01-01 | Code des impôts directs et taxes… |
| Distributions to Algerian resident companies bear only 5% (art. 150 CIDTA as amended by LF 2022) - the 15% is the outbound/non-resident and individual rate. | |||||
| interest | Interest (revenus des créances, dépôts et cautionnements) | 10 | interest on debts, deposits and guarantees paid to non-resident lenders | — | Code des impôts directs et taxes… |
| Treaty interest articles commonly cap the rate at or below 10%, so the domestic rate often survives treaty application unchanged. | |||||
| royalties | Royalties (redevances) | 30 | royalties and similar payments (use of IP, know-how, equipment) to foreign enterprises without a permanent professional installation in Algeria, within the discharge withholding regime of CIDTA art. 156 et seq. | — | DGI - Fiscalité des entreprises… |
| Base reductions: 60% for international leasing (crédit-bail international) and 30% for payments under software-use contracts (DGI). Practitioner summaries attribute the rise from 24% to 30% to the Loi de finances 2023. | |||||
| technical-services | Service contracts of foreign enterprises (retenue à la source libératoire IBS) | 30 | gross amounts invoiced under contrats de prestations de services performed in Algeria by foreign companies without a permanent professional installation; the withholding is final and covers IBS, TAP and VAT | — | DGI - Fiscalité des entreprises… |
| For foreign individuals and partnerships the parallel IRG discharge rate is 24% (DGI). Where a treaty applies and the foreign enterprise has no permanent establishment, the business-profits article generally displaces this withholding; absent a treaty it is a final 30% on gross. | |||||

| key | label | rate total | rate employee | rate employer | unit | base | employer matched |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| assurances_sociales | Assurances sociales — maladie, maternité, invalidité, décès / التأمينات الاجتماعية (sickness, maternity, invalidity, death) | 13 | 1.5 | 11.5 | percent | The assiette de cotisation defined by Ordonnance n° 95-01 du 21 janvier 1995 fixant l'assiette des cotisations et des prestations de sécurité sociale: the whole of the remuneration paid to the worker — basic wage, indemnities, bonuses (primes) and allowances of every kind — before deduction. NO CEILING of any kind: the percentage runs on the entire wage however high. The assiette may not be lower than the SNMG (salaire national minimum garanti) for a full-time worker. | false |
| This branch fell from 12.50% employer / 14% total to 11.50% employer / 13% total on 16 September 2015; the point taken out of it was moved into the retraite branch, so the global 34.50% did not change. A schedule still showing 12.50% / 14% here is pre-2015 and will also be wrong… | |||||||
| accidents_travail | Accidents du travail et maladies professionnelles / حوادث العمل والأمراض المهنية (occupational injury and disease) — employer only | 1.25 | 0 | 1.25 | percent | Same uncapped assiette as the other branches (Ordonnance n° 95-01 du 21 janvier 1995). No ceiling. | false |
| Employer-only and never a payslip deduction — the employee column of the decree table is an explicit dash. UNLIKE MOST COUNTRIES THIS RATE IS NOT RISK-RATED: Algeria applies one flat 1.25% to every employer whatever the industry, so there is no accident-class lookup to perform… | |||||||
| retraite | Retraite / التقاعد (old-age pension, CNR — Caisse nationale des retraites) — employer and employee shares | 17.75 | 6.75 | 11 | percent | Same uncapped assiette as the other branches (Ordonnance n° 95-01 du 21 janvier 1995), not less than the SNMG. No ceiling. | false |
| READ WITH THE SEPARATE 0.50% ŒUVRES SOCIALES ENTRY BELOW. The decree states the retirement branch as 18.25% in total, but that total has THREE payers, not two: 11% employer + 6.75% employee + 0.50% charged to the fonds des œuvres sociales. rate_total here is the 17.75% actually… | |||||||
| retraite_fonds_oeuvres_sociales | Retraite — quote-part à la charge du fonds des œuvres sociales / حصة صندوق الخدمات الاجتماعية (retirement share drawn from the enterprise social-works fund) | 0.5 | 0 | 0.5 | percent | Same uncapped assiette as the other branches. Charged not on the ordinary payroll contribution line but against the enterprise's fonds des œuvres sociales, which is itself financed by the employer out of its wage bill. | false |
| SERVED AS ITS OWN LINE BECAUSE THE DECREE HAS THREE PAYER COLUMNS AND A PAYSLIP HAS TWO. It is shown here on the employer side because it is borne by the enterprise, not by the worker — nothing is deducted from the employee for it — but it is NOT part of the 25% employer payroll… | |||||||
| assurance_chomage | Assurance chômage / التأمين على البطالة (unemployment insurance, CNAC — Caisse nationale d'assurance chômage) | 1.5 | 0.5 | 1 | percent | Same uncapped assiette as the other branches (Ordonnance n° 95-01 du 21 janvier 1995). No ceiling. | false |
| Collected by CNAS with the rest of the 34.50% and transferred to CNAC. Covers only involuntary loss of employment for economic reasons — it is not a general jobseeker's benefit, and an employee who resigns or is dismissed for misconduct is outside it despite having contributed… | |||||||
| retraite_anticipee | Retraite anticipée / التقاعد المسبق (early retirement, CNAC) | 0.5 | 0.25 | 0.25 | percent | Same uncapped assiette as the other branches (Ordonnance n° 95-01 du 21 janvier 1995). No ceiling. | true |
| The only genuinely matched branch in the Algerian scheme — 0.25% each side. Small, but it is a distinct branch with its own CNAC destination and must not be folded into the retraite line: an engine that reports "retirement 18.25%" and stops has silently dropped it. Note that… | |||||||

Every value above names the official instrument it came from and the date it takes effect, and we record when we last checked it. Where a value could not be verified against its own statute we do not publish an estimate — the series is simply absent. Where a question falls outside what we hold, the API refuses and explains, free of charge, rather than returning a number that looks right.
