Koľko vám zostane po daniach v 27 európskych krajinách?

The calculator uses 2026 official tax brackets and standard employee social contribution rates. It provides reliable estimates for career planning and country comparison, but does not account for local surcharges, church tax, municipal taxes, or individual deductions. For precise figures, consult a certified tax advisor in the relevant country.

The calculator covers all 27 European Union member states: Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Czech Republic, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Cyprus, Malta, and Greece. Switzerland is excluded due to the complexity of its cantonal tax system.

Yes. In most EU countries, married filers benefit from income splitting — the combined income is divided between spouses, which can significantly lower the effective tax rate. The "married with children" option applies additional deductions per child. The exact benefit varies by country: it is very significant in Germany (Splittingverfahren) and France (quotient familial), and less impactful in flat-tax countries like Romania or Bulgaria.

European tax systems differ fundamentally. Some countries (Denmark, Belgium, Sweden) have high income tax but moderate social contributions. Others (France, Netherlands) have high social security rates. Eastern European countries (Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary) apply flat income tax rates of 10–15%, often resulting in higher net pay from the same gross. Tax-free allowances, deductions, and the mix of income tax vs. social contributions create large differences.

The effective tax rate shown is the total percentage of gross salary lost to both income tax and social security contributions combined: (income tax + social security) ÷ gross salary × 100. This is different from the marginal tax rate, which only applies to the highest income bracket.
