Tax composition

This tool illustrates how gross income is distributed across the main components of the tax system. It shows how income is divided between net income, income tax, and social contributions, providing a clear structural view of how earnings are allocated as salary increases.

All calculations are performed in the local currency of the selected country, ensuring that input values and results align with that country’s tax system and income scale. Results for other countries are expressed in euros (EUR) for comparability.

What this shows


The chart shows how different components of salary change as income increases. Instead of focusing on a single point, it illustrates how the structure of income evolves.

Each column represents gross salary at a given level.

The blue segment represents net income received by the employee. Grey segments represent deductions, including employee contributions and income tax.

When enabled, the top layer shows employer contributions, illustrating total employment cost beyond gross salary.


Scope and limitations


The results are based on simplified models and standard assumptions. Actual outcomes may differ depending on individual circumstances, specific employment conditions, and detailed tax rules.

The chart does not represent a personalised scenario. It is designed to illustrate general relationships within the system rather than provide precise or applicable figures for individual cases.
