Every figure is converted to euros for comparison; each country's tax is computed in its own currency first, so local caps and thresholds apply to a like-for-like income. How this is calculated.

Read the numbers with care

Each figure assumes a single filer with no dependents on national tax scales, and includes only mandatory employee contributions, not employer-side costs. Local taxes use a national average or a named city (Switzerland is Zurich). These are estimates for comparison, not a payslip. Full methodology and sources.
