What this calculator does

Net pay depends on many local rules. This estimator gives you a transparent, configurable model so you can enter your own jurisdiction’s figures.

Formula and method

Taxable = gross − pre-tax contributions − allowance Income tax = progressive brackets applied to taxable income Net = gross − pre-tax − income tax − social contributions − after-tax deductions

How to read the results

The marginal rate is the tax rate on your next unit of income; the take-home share is the overall result.

Assumptions and limitations

  • Tax rules differ by country, region and year. Enter the official rates and brackets that apply to you; the defaults are illustrative and do not represent any jurisdiction. This is not tax advice.
  • Social contributions are applied to gross pay without caps; adjust if your system has a ceiling.

Tax and payroll figures depend on rules that differ by country, region and year and change often. Enter official current rates, and consult the tax authority or a qualified adviser — nothing here is tax advice.

Questions

How do I enter brackets?

As upper limit:rate pairs, e.g. 10000:10, 40000:15, *:35, where * is the open top bracket.
