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.
