Gross salary converted at ECB reference rates, then taxed under each place’s own rules. Employee income tax and mandatory social security only. How we calculate
Austria's system doesn't reduce to a single band table. It stacks several parallel charges, so Aftertax models it with a dedicated calculator.
Assumes 14 salary payments a year. The regular 12 are taxed on the progressive scale (0% to €13,308, up to 55%); the 13th and 14th (holiday and Christmas pay) are taxed at a flat 6% after a €620 exemption. That is the main reason Austrian take-home beats a 12-month estimate. Employee social insurance is 18.07% on regular pay (17.07% on the special payments), capped at €83,160/yr. Low-income tax credits beyond the 0% band aren't modelled.
Every figure assumes a single filer with no dependents. See the methodology for the full list of assumptions and sources.

No. It is an estimate for comparison, based on 2025–2026 national tax rules for a single person with no dependents. It does not account for your residency or filing status, reliefs and credits specific to you, local tax variations, or income other than salary. Treat it as a well-informed ballpark, not a payslip.

Common reasons: you are married or have children; you claim pension, mortgage, commuting or other deductions; you live in a region or municipality with a rate above or below the national average used here; the law changed mid-year; or part of your pay is a bonus taxed on a different basis.
