How Malta income tax works
Malta taxes personal income on these bands for the 2025–2026 tax year. Where a personal allowance or tax credit applies, it is already reflected in the figures above.
| Taxable income | Rate |
|---|---|
| €0 – €12,000 | 0% |
| €12,000 – €16,000 | 15% |
| €16,000 – €60,000 | 25% |
| €60,000 and above | 35% |
Employee social security is modelled at 10% on income up to €29,084 per year.
What this estimate simplifies
Social security flattens to a fixed EUR 55.93/week once weekly pay exceeds EUR 559.30, modelled here as a hard cap.
Every figure assumes a single filer with no dependents. See the methodology for the full list of assumptions and sources.

Common questions
Is this my exact take-home pay in Malta?
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.
What does the Malta figure include?
Personal income tax and mandatory employee social security contributions. Employer-side contributions are excluded because they are never part of your take-home pay. Social security flattens to a fixed EUR 55.93/week once weekly pay exceeds EUR 559.30, modelled here as a hard cap.
How is Malta social security calculated here?
Employee contributions are modelled at 10% on income up to €29,084 per year. This is a simplification of the real breakdown into pension, health, unemployment and other funds, which together come to roughly this figure for an employee.
Why might my real Malta net pay be different?
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. Always confirm important numbers with an Malta tax professional or the national tax authority.
