2025 income / 2026 assessment · National income tax guide
The calculation, explained.
The schedule applies to net taxable income for one household share. Each slice is taxed separately. These are 2026 assessment brackets for income earned in 2025.
Gross mode does not automatically convert salary to net taxable salary. Employee social charges, the salary expense allowance, décote and high-income surtaxes are excluded. For a closer result select Taxable income.
For doctors
This model is for ordinary individual employment income. Private-practice receipts, professional expenses and medical pension arrangements need a separate assessment. A hospital's withholding is not necessarily your final annual tax.
Tax brackets · EUR
Each rate applies only to the income inside that band.
