How it works

Net salary is the amount you receive after all mandatory deductions. This calculator subtracts income tax and social contributions from your gross annual pay, then splits the result into monthly figures. Rates vary by country, tax band and personal situation, so use your local rates for the most accurate estimate.

Worked example

Example: Gross €45,000, tax 25%, contributions 12% → net ≈ €28,350/year, €2,362/month.

Recommendations

  • Check your country's current tax brackets before setting the tax rate.
  • Include local social contributions — they differ significantly between countries.
  • Treat the result as an estimate; confirm important figures with an accountant.

Tips & advice

  • Compare offers using net pay, not gross — two salaries can look alike on paper and differ hugely in hand.
  • A 5-point change in the tax rate moves your monthly net by hundreds. Test your scenarios here.
  • Re-run this calculator after any salary change or tax reform.
