How net pay is worked out
From the gross, unemployment insurance (1.6 %) and the funded pension (2, 4 or 6 %, or none) are withheld first. Income tax of 22 % is charged on what is left, less the basic exemption of €700 a month, which one employer applies on the employee’s application.
What the company pays on top
On the gross salary the company pays social tax of 33 % and unemployment insurance of 0.8 %. Social tax is charged on at least €886 a month for a main employment, even when the salary is lower.
When it is paid
The month’s salary taxes are declared on the TSD and paid by the 10th of the following month, moved to the next working day when the 10th falls on a weekend or holiday.
