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
How Romania income tax works
Romania 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 lei and above | 10% |
Employee social security is modelled at 35%, uncapped.
What this estimate simplifies
Flat 10% tax on income after CAS + CASS (35% combined) are deducted. The sliding personal deduction (meaningful only near minimum wage) isn't modeled.
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 Romania?
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 Romania 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. Flat 10% tax on income after CAS + CASS (35% combined) are deducted. The sliding personal deduction (meaningful only near minimum wage) isn't modeled.
How is Romania social security calculated here?
Employee contributions are modelled at 35%, uncapped. 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 Romania 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 Romania tax professional or the national tax authority.
