Reading the data
What the figures say about Indonesia
Employers in Indonesia pay social security contributions of 10.48%, while employees contribute a further 4%, on top of a corporate tax rate of 22% and a top personal income tax rate of 35%. The statutory minimum wage stands at IDR 5,067,381 per month, notably above the average monthly wage of IDR 2,776,804 recorded in 2023, a gap that signals wide variation across the workforce. A 13th-month salary payment is mandatory, payroll runs monthly, and workers are entitled to 12 days of statutory annual leave plus 14 public holidays. Maternity leave runs to 13 weeks, while paternity leave is 0.3 weeks, and the normal working week is set at 40 hours, though actual hours worked average 42 per week. Severance exposure is significant: the statutory entitlement reaches 33.2 weeks of pay, and there is no statutory notice period required. With a labour force of 147.1 million people and an unemployment rate of 3.24%, the talent pool is large and union density remains low at 5.3%.
