Payroll processing is one of the most challenging parts of running a business and is extremely time consuming for business owners. At Lets Move Indonesia, we specialize in ensuring your company operates smoothly and stress free, allowing you to focus on making your business grow.
Payroll Process in Indonesia
In Indonesia, payroll is processed in several stages designed to ensure employees are paid accurately and on time, while employers remain fully compliant with labour, tax, and social security requirements. For foreign-owned companies, representative offices, and regional headquarters operating in Indonesia and across ASEAN, the process is further shaped by frequent regulatory updates and strict reporting obligations.
At its core, the payroll process begins with the calculation of gross wages, taking into account base salary, fixed and variable allowances, overtime, bonuses, and statutory benefits in accordance with Indonesian Manpower Law. This is followed by the calculation and deduction of mandatory withholdings, including PPh 21 (personal income tax) and BPJS contributions for health and employment social security.
Our payroll services focus on helping you calculate gross wages, subtract all pertinent withholdings and deductions, print pay slips, and prepare all employment tax filings.
