Understanding salary deductions
This calculator uses the rates you enter. It is a planning estimate only and does not replace official payroll, tax, accounting, legal, or government advice.
Income tax
Income tax is usually a government tax on employment income. The amount can depend on income level, tax allowances, residency, family status, employment type and yearly changes.
Social security
Social security contributions may fund public benefits such as pensions, sickness support, parental benefits, disability benefits, unemployment support or other national insurance systems.
Pension contributions
Pension contributions may be paid by employees, employers, or both. They may support public pensions, private pension schemes, occupational pension plans or mixed systems depending on the country.
Health or medical insurance
Health or medical insurance contributions may help fund public healthcare, insurance schemes or mandatory health systems. The structure differs by country.
Unemployment insurance
Unemployment insurance or labour-market contributions may support workers when employment ends or when local benefit systems apply.

What is the difference between gross salary and net salary?
Gross salary is the amount before taxes and employee deductions. Net salary is the estimated amount left after income tax, social security, pension, health insurance and other deductions.
Are employer contributions deducted from my salary?
Usually employer contributions are paid by the employer on top of gross salary. They affect the employer’s total cost, but they may not reduce the employee’s take-home pay. The exact rules depend on the country.
Why does this calculator use manual percentages?
European payroll systems differ by country and change over time. Manual fields make the calculator useful for planning without pretending to provide official tax calculations.
Does this replace an official salary calculator?
No. This is a planning estimate only. For official payroll, tax or contribution calculations, check government sources or ask a qualified payroll, tax or accounting professional.
