| Employer-only - the instrument says "exclusivement a la charge de l'employeur", so model the employee rate as a hard zero with no override. Maximum 37 500 FCFA per employee per month at the 500 000 ceiling. This branch covers maternity as well as family allowances, so there is… | |||||||

| CHAD USES A SINGLE FLAT OCCUPATIONAL-RISK RATE - no grading by activity class, no risk banding, no safety-record adjustment - so rate_employer carries a real number rather than a null. Do not look for a tariff table as you would in Cameroon, Benin, Mali, Senegal or Cote… | |||||||

Both shares are computed on the same capped base. | 500000 |
| THIS IS THE ONLY BRANCH THE EMPLOYEE PAYS INTO - 3,5% of capped salary is the entire payslip deduction in Chad, a maximum of 17 500 FCFA per month at the 500 000 ceiling. The split is close to but not exactly 60/40 (5 against 3,5 on an 8,5% branch is 58,8% / 41,2%), so do not… | |||||||

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 Where a value could not be verified against its own statute we do not publish an estimate — the series is simply absent.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.
