Methodology & sources

Methodology - Cayman Islands (2026)

Educational model - not a pensions statement, not a tax return, not tax advice. Currency KYD (Cayman Islands dollar).

Employee (mandatory pension)

  • The Cayman Islands has no personal income tax, so there is no PAYE deduction.
  • Mandatory pension: employee 5% + employer 5% of earnings, up to the year's maximum pensionable earnings of KYD 87,000/year (KYD 7,250/month). Amounts above the cap are voluntary.
  • Out of scope: employer-provided health insurance (SHIP), a premium-based cost where the employer pays at least half - it is a fixed premium, not a percentage of salary.

Self-employed (sole proprietor)

  • No personal income tax. Self-employed persons contribute pension at the combined 10% (both shares) on earnings up to the KYD 87,000/year (KYD 7,250/month) ceiling.
