The result updates as you type. The headline is the net annual salary; the others show the monthly figure and the total deducted. This calculator provides an estimate only. It does not replace payroll, tax or legal advice, and the final amount can vary depending on deductions, local rules and personal circumstances.

How does it work?

This uses a single flat tax rate, not real progressive bands, allowances, or local rules. Enter an effective rate that reflects your actual tax for a closer estimate.

  1. Enter your gross annual salary.
  2. Enter your overall (effective) tax rate.
  3. Enter any other yearly deductions, like pension.
  4. Read the net annual and monthly salary.

A worked example

On 60,000 gross at a 30% tax rate with 3,000 of other deductions: 60,000 − 18,000 − 3,000 = 39,000 net a year, about 3,250 a month.

Finding your effective rate

Real income tax is progressive, with bands and allowances, so your effective rate is usually lower than your top band. Divide last year's total tax by your gross income for a realistic rate to enter here.

Common mistakes

  • Entering your top tax band instead of your effective rate.
  • Forgetting deductions like pension or social contributions.
  • Expecting this flat-rate estimate to match a detailed payslip exactly.

When it's useful

A quick take-home estimate when comparing job offers, budgeting, or seeing the impact of a different tax rate.

FAQ

How is net salary calculated?
Gross salary minus tax (gross times the rate) minus other deductions. The monthly figure divides the annual net by twelve.
What tax rate should I enter?
An effective rate — your total tax divided by gross income — not your highest band, which only applies to the top slice.
Does it handle progressive tax bands?
No. It uses one flat rate for simplicity. Enter an effective rate to approximate progressive tax.
What counts as other deductions?
Things taken from pay beyond income tax — pension contributions, social security, or insurance, depending on your country.
Will it match my payslip exactly?
Probably not. Payslips use detailed bands, allowances, and local rules. This is a quick estimate.
Can I share a calculation?
Yes. Use Share to copy a link that reopens the calculator with the same figures.
