payroll-run

name	payroll-run
description	Run gross-to-net payroll for a Kosovo small business, PIT withholding under the current bands (0% to €250, 8% to €450, 10% above), Trusti pension (5% employee + 5% employer), net pay, employer cost, payslips, and the monthly filing reminder (EDI by the 15th). Trigger with "run payroll", "gross to net", "calculate net salary", "what's the take-home on €X", "payslip", "how much pension do I withhold", "employer cost for this hire". Do NOT use to file with ATK (recommend a kontabilist) or to draft the contract (use employment-contract).

/payroll-run

Turn gross salaries into net pay, employer cost, and payslips a Kosovo small business can hand to a kontabilist. This shows the math; it does not file anything, and the kontabilist confirms the return.

Usage

/payroll-run $ARGUMENTS

Examples:

• /payroll-run net pay on €600 gross
• /payroll-run payslip for Arta, €900 gross, May
• /payroll-run run payroll for 4 staff: €450, €450, €600, €1,200
• /payroll-run what's my total employer cost for a €1,000 hire?

What the skill needs

1. Gross monthly salary per employee (and names if you want payslips).
2. The period (month/year).
3. Any allowances or deductions beyond salary (note them; the kontabilist confirms treatment).

The calculation

Kosovo payroll has two withholdings on top of gross: pension and PIT.

1. Employee pension (5% of gross)            = gross × 0.05
2. PIT base                                  = gross − employee pension   (verify ordering with kontabilist)
3. PIT (progressive bands, monthly):
     0%  on the part up to €250
     8%  on the part from €250.01 to €450
     10% on the part above €450
4. Net pay = gross − employee pension − PIT
5. Employer pension (5% of gross)            = gross × 0.05
6. Total employer cost = gross + employer pension

Worked example (€600 gross)

Gross:                                   €600.00
Employee pension (5%):                   −€30.00
PIT base:                                 €570.00
PIT:  0% on €250 = €0
      8% on €200 (250.01–450) = €16.00
      10% on €120 (450–570) = €12.00
      PIT total:                         −€28.00
NET PAY:                                  €542.00

Employer pension (5%):                    €30.00
TOTAL EMPLOYER COST:                      €630.00

Reference (cache)

• PIT bands (Law 08/L-142, from 23 Aug 2024): 0% up to €250/month, 8% from €250.01 to €450, 10% above €450. Old 4% band removed.
• Pension (Trusti): 5% employee + 5% employer of gross.
• Filing: monthly via EDI by the 15th; register new hires with ATK 1 day before start; annual PIT return 1 Jan–31 Mar.
• Minimum wage (gross/month): €350 from 1 Oct 2024; €425 from 1 Jan 2026; €500 planned 1 Jul 2026 (verify).

What this skill does NOT do

• Does not file with ATK. It produces payslips and the math; the kontabilist files via EDI.
• Does not confirm the PIT/pension base ordering (whether pension is deducted before PIT), it states the assumption and flags it for the kontabilist.
• Does not handle allowances, benefits-in-kind, or garnishments beyond noting them for professional treatment.

Tips

1. Always show the band-by-band PIT math, owners do not trust a black-box net figure.
2. Quote the total employer cost, not just net pay, it is the number that drives hiring decisions.
3. Flag sub-minimum-wage gross against the rate in force for the period.
4. Chain into xlsx for a multi-employee payroll register (one row per person, gross / pension / PIT / net / employer cost), with clean formulas.
