BiH Salary Calculator 2026 — FBiH and RS (KM)

How to change Porezna kartica and activate relief?

The golden rule of every salary calculation in Bosnia and Herzegovina is this: the employer pays the salary exclusively relying on your current data in the tax card, which they pull via an online connection and service (Porezna uprava (FBiH/RS)) from your file! If a child, a person with zero income, or an established civil disability is not processed and registered by the worker in the centralized tax register, that attribute will not exist at all! Accounting departments are not allowed to touch this themselves. You must serve them a valid and up-to-date new card!

Option A: Digital path via nacionalni digitalni sustav (Fastest & Recommended)

Absolute recommendation. Today, hardly anyone physically knocks on clerks' doors for registration changes. Porezna uprava (FBiH/RS) has integrated a very high-quality mechanism that saves you months of time in applications.

Steps from the comfort of your home

Log in to the national mailbox service nacionalni digitalni sustav using elektronički certifikat.
Select the tax administration system option from the extremely massive and long list of services.
Within the very visible visual central menu of the portal's profile section, select the tab module "My tax cards / Request for change".
The system will warn you that you are going to request a paper change (you are not punished for this). Then click the green form option Add Dependent Member, select the kinship (e.g., Child 1), enter their identification number, and upload proof attachment documents (High-quality color PDF scan or JPG of the photographed birth certificate).
The clerk's office will process that fast request asynchronously within a day or at most a few days. The central system automatically updates the state parameters. An Updated PDF card form arrives in your e-Mail box message.
Very Important: You must immediately forward that refreshed new PDF document of the Form to the Human Resources Department, i.e., to the payroll department in your company/at work, and emphasize: "Please pay the salary for the next current date from my new tax card, attached. A child has been registered!".

Option B: Physical submission

For foreigners without an issued bank certificate (lack of permission in the digital system), as well as very traditional taxpayers from rural villages where a token is not an option at all - the procedure dictates a return to the old paper submission to the home branch office of the tax subunit clerk exclusively according to the valid municipality of your current prescribed residence/stay.

Print, sign at the bottom with a pen if possible, and bring the Form.
Attach all birth certificates and marital, birth, and marriage certificates of physical children to the desk at the counter reception for verification by the clerk at the counter.
The clerk immediately stamps a new print of the extract. Rush to your company directly that same week before the date of the classic accounting closing of operations.

Retrograde period (The year has passed, it's time for tax return)

Did you forget to register your son in March and reported the card only in August at work? The state has legally taken (in the collection of the encountered tax regulation) several increased net installments from you! The answer is fantastic - it's not lost! The procedure for correcting the injustice will happen regularly towards the end of February of the next year when you must submit a special request for the "Annual Refund Claim". After the summer, Porezna uprava (FBiH/RS) manually fixes the calculations for the whole year and releases your saved tax difference!
