How does the accrual Bonus/gratification work in a Suriname payroll?

  • Modified on: Mon, 27 Jul, 2026 at 5:31 PM

This code must be activated per employee under Salary/edit/Bonus / gratification:


If this accrual is activated, Celery will split the reservation in a taxed and untaxed payment. The taxed portion ends up in wage code 40 'Gross Bonus/Gratification' and the untaxed part ends up on wage code 470 'Untaxed Bonus/gratification'.


In doing so, Celery is taking into account a maximum untaxed bonus of one month's salary, with a maximum of SRD 19,500 (till 2024: SRD 10,016) per year. The excess will then be paid taxed, to which benefit the Extra Income Tax Table (In Dutch; Tabel Bijzondere Beloning) Table will be applied.


Note: the tax-free bonus/gratification is calculated in Celery in proportion to the employment, in accordance with Wage tax law Article 10 - 7 paragraph j.  


If you don't wish to use this tool for monthly accruals, you can still pay the bonus/gratification by manually entering the taxed part on wage code 45 'Gross Bonus/gratification' and the untaxed part on a copy of wage code 470 'Untaxed Bonus/gratification'.
