Your real take-home will be somewhat lower than $1,188,705 once IMSS is deducted.

No. Aguinaldo (the mandatory year-end bonus) and PTU (employee profit-sharing) are taxed under separate rules from ordinary monthly salary and aren't included in this $1,600,000 figure.
Mexico take-home figures use the 2026 SAT tarifa mensual (Anexo 8, Resolución Miscelánea Fiscal), applied monthly and annualized.
