| 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
- Gross monthly salary per employee (and names if you want payslips).
- The period (month/year).
- 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
- Always show the band-by-band PIT math, owners do not trust a black-box net figure.
- Quote the total employer cost, not just net pay, it is the number that drives hiring decisions.
- Flag sub-minimum-wage gross against the rate in force for the period.
- Chain into
xlsx for a multi-employee payroll register (one row per person, gross / pension / PIT / net / employer cost), with clean formulas.
