How it works
Gross salary is what your contract says; net salary is what reaches your bank account. In between, the employer withholds income taxes and your own share of social insurance (pension, unemployment and, depending on the country, health and care insurance). The employer also pays its own contributions on top of the gross, which is why a job costs more than the salary.
Net = gross − taxes − your contributions. The calculator works out the whole year from your annual gross, then divides it by the payments.
It is an estimate. A single payslip can differ, because withholding is worked out month by month, and personal deductions (commuting, interest, allowances entered on a German tax card), bonuses and private health insurance are not included. The rules and their sources are listed under the result.
Worked example
What is the net monthly pay on €2,100.00 in Estonia in 2026, with a 2% funded pension and 12 payments?
- €2,100.00 − €33.60 − €42.00 − €291.37 = €1,733.03.
€1,733.03 per month, using the full tax-free allowance.
Frequently asked questions
How is the tax-free allowance used?
It is 700 € a month (8 400 € a year) in 2026, used by one employer only. Others then withhold the full 22 %.
Can I stop the II pillar contributions?
Yes: pick 0 % if you have left the funded pension, or 4 % or 6 % if you raised it.
