Overview

The calculator uses the small-business relief announced on 10 Jawza 1403. Enter annual sales or choose the monthly option.

Rates in this version

Annual sales up to AFN 2 million are exempt. When annual sales exceed AFN 2 million, 0.3% applies to the entire amount.

Calculation method

For monthly entry, multiply the amount by 12 to estimate annual sales. Then multiply annual sales by the applicable rate.

Worked examples

  • AFN 1,800,000: zero.
  • AFN 2,000,000: zero.
  • AFN 2,000,001: AFN 6,000.003 before rounding, displayed as AFN 6,000.00.
  • AFN 3,000,000: AFN 9,000.

US dollar amounts

For USD input the calculator converts to Afghanis before comparing sales with the threshold.

Da Afghanistan Bank’s daily cash-buy rate for US dollars is an indication for current estimates. For a past payment, enter the rate applicable to that period or use a documented amount in Afghanis.

The app fills the rate automatically only when the source clearly dates it to today in Kabul. An older quote needs your confirmation or an edit. Confirmation records your choice and does not make the quote current or suitable for tax purposes.

Enter a rate manually if the source is unavailable or its publication date is missing, ambiguous or in the future. You can always enter or edit a rate, and a late response will not overwrite it. Telegram is not an automatic fallback.

Publication date, the time the rate was retrieved and the age of the cached response are separate. Serving a cached response keeps the original retrieval time. Quote age is shown in Kabul calendar days.

The result and its copied text keep the exact rate, publication date when available, and how the rate was selected. After Kabul midnight, automatic use requires a fresh date check. A completed result stays as calculated.

How the threshold works

Tax rises sharply just above AFN 2 million because the rate applies to all annual sales at that point.

Rounding

Datakar calculates before rounding and displays the final result to two decimals.

Limits

Use this calculator only for small businesses under the fixed-tax regime. Monthly entry assumes equal sales in every month. Use the annual total if sales vary.

Rules version

small-1403-v2 uses the 10 Jawza 1403 announcement, which superseded the previous AFN 150,000 threshold and 0.5% rate for the covered businesses.
