[](#usage)

Here's how to use the PAYE Calculator in your PHP project:

```
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use PAYE\PAYECalculator;

// Input data
$annualSalary = 5000000; // Annual Salary: ₦5,000,000
$allowances = [1000000, 500000, 250000]; // Array of allowances
$deductions = [200000, 150000, 100000]; // Array of deductions

// Calculate PAYE
$paye = PAYECalculator::calculate($annualSalary, $allowances, $deductions);

echo "The PAYE tax is: ₦" . number_format($paye, 2);
```

### Explanation of Inputs

[](#explanation-of-inputs)

1. **Annual Salary**: Total annual salary (numeric value).
2. **Allowances**: An array of all allowances (e.g., housing, transport).
3. **Deductions**: An array of all deductions (e.g., pension, insurance).

---

How PAYE is Calculated
----------------------

[](#how-paye-is-calculated)

The PAYE is computed using the following steps:

1. **Gross Income** = Annual Salary + Total Allowances.
2. **Consolidated Relief Allowance (CRA)**:
    - ₦200,000 or 1% of gross income (whichever is higher) + 20% of gross income.
3. **Taxable Income** = Gross Income - (CRA + Total Deductions).
4. **Progressive Tax Rates**:
    - First ₦300,000: 7%
    - Next ₦300,000: 11%
    - Next ₦500,000: 15%
    - Next ₦500,000: 19%
    - Next ₦1,600,000: 21%
    - Above ₦3,200,000: 24%
