Net salary for a country without its own calculator
Nettometer calculates the countries in the menu with their real tax and social-insurance rules. For any other country, this page works out your net pay from the percentages you enter: the share of your gross salary that goes to income tax, to social contributions and, if you like, to other deductions or a fixed monthly amount. You can choose the currency, the number of salary payments per year (12, 13 or 14) and your weekly hours, and you get the net per year, per month and per hour.
- Income tax: enter your average rate (total tax ÷ gross), not the rate of the top bracket. Income tax is usually progressive, so the average rate rises with the salary.
- Social contributions: only the employee share — pension, health and unemployment insurance as deducted from your pay.
- Other deductions: for example local or church tax, union dues or a pension plan, as a percentage or a fixed amount per month.
Where to find your percentages
The quickest way is a payslip: divide each deduction by the gross salary on the same payslip. If you have an offer but no payslip yet, the tax authority or social-security office of the country usually publishes the rates, and colleagues or an employer’s HR department can tell you the typical total. For an hourly wage the calculator uses hourly rate × weekly hours × 52.
