Salary & tax calculator 2026
Convert gross to net salary (or back) and see the employer's total cost using 2026 rates: 22% income tax, €700 basic exemption, 33% social tax, unemployment insurance and the 2nd pension pillar.
On 1.01.2024 the only thing that changed for this calculator was the monthly social-tax base (€654 → €725). With the default settings this period therefore gives the same result as 1.01.2023 — the difference appears only once you tick “Apply the minimum social tax obligation”.
The minimum social tax obligation (SMS §2(2)) does NOT apply to everyone. SMS §3 exempts old-age pensioners, people with reduced capacity for work, a parent of a child under 3, students and anyone registered unemployed for at least 6 months. Where an employee refused to work on a §19 Employment Contracts Act ground (sick leave, holiday), the monthly base is applied IN PROPORTION to the time worked — but that relief does NOT extend to unpaid leave granted by agreement, where the full monthly base still applies (SMS §2(3)(1)). Tick it only if no exemption applies.
