How the calculation works
Because ISR is progressive, net-to-gross is solved iteratively with the same 2026 withholding and IMSS engines.
Formula
Find gross G such that G − ISR(G) − IMSS(G) − other = target net
Worked example
An applicant wants MXN 20,000 deposited monthly and needs the gross offer.
