What it does

The Salary Tax Calculator turns an advertised gross salary — the big number on the job posting — into the money that actually lands in your bank account each month. You supply an effective tax rate (the percentage that comes off, all deductions included) and get annual net, monthly net, and the total tax deducted. It's built for quick comparisons, not for filing your return.

How to use it

  1. Enter your annual gross salary — the total before any deductions.
  2. Enter your estimated tax rate as a percentage.
  3. View the annual tax amount deducted from your salary.
  4. See your annual net salary (take-home pay) after taxes.
  5. Check the monthly net income for budgeting — adjust the rate to model different scenarios.

Key features

Why it helps

Best for comparing two offers before you accept one, sanity-checking a raise, or seeing what a €5k bump actually adds to your monthly rent budget. Real tax systems are progressive with brackets, allowances and social contributions, so treat the output as a ballpark — pull last year's effective rate from your annual tax summary for the most useful comparison, then use it here whenever the base salary changes.
