Questions

Common Jamaica questions, answered.

How do I work out my take-home pay in Jamaica?

Enter your gross salary in the OurJa Salary Calculator. It deducts NIS (3%), NHT (2%), and Education Tax (2.25%), then applies PAYE income tax using the 2026 tax-free threshold of J$1,902,360 a year, and shows your exact monthly take-home.

How much GCT do I add to a price?

GCT (General Consumption Tax) is 15% on most goods and services in Jamaica. The GCT Calculator adds it to a pre-tax price or strips it out of a tax-inclusive total — either direction.

What is the cheapest way to send money to Jamaica?

The best deal depends on the amount, each provider's fee, and the exchange-rate spread they apply. The Remittance Comparison shows what actually lands in JMD after each provider takes its cut, so you can compare before you send.

Am I eligible for an NHT loan, and how much?

NHT loan eligibility depends on your contributions, income, age, and whether you have used a benefit before. The NHT Eligibility Checker estimates the loan limit you may qualify for and the likely monthly payment.
