How it works
Austria taxes income progressively — only the portion of income within each bracket is taxed at that rate.
Social security contributions (~18% for employees, capped at €6,540/month) are deducted before income tax is calculated. Calculate your exact contributions →
The Family Bonus Plus (€2,000/child/year) is a direct tax credit — it reduces your tax bill, not your income.
13th and 14th salaries are taxed at a flat 6% up to the annual contribution ceiling (favourable rate).

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "gross to net" mean in Austria?
Gross salary (Bruttogehalt) is what your employment contract states before any deductions. Net salary (Nettogehalt) is what actually lands in your bank account after income tax (Lohnsteuer) and social security contributions are subtracted. Converting gross to net — also called a Brutto-Netto-Rechner — is exactly what this calculator does.
What gets deducted from gross salary in Austria?
Two things: social security contributions (health, pension, unemployment, and accident insurance — roughly 18% for employees, capped at a monthly ceiling), then progressive income tax on what remains. The result is your net take-home pay.
How much is €1 800 gross in net salary in Austria?
A €1 800 monthly gross salary comes to about € 1.488 net per month in 2026 for a single employee with no children, after social security and income tax. Enter your own figures above for an exact, personalized breakdown.
How much is €3 500 gross in net salary in Austria?
A €3 500 monthly gross salary comes to about € 2.457 net per month in 2026 for a single employee with no children, after social security and income tax.
Why do I get paid 14 salaries a year in Austria, not 12?
Most Austrian employees receive a 13th salary (holiday pay, usually paid in June) and a 14th salary (Christmas bonus, usually paid in November) on top of the 12 regular monthly payments. These two bonus payments are taxed at a flat, favourable 6% rate up to an annual ceiling, rather than at your regular progressive rate.
What's the difference between gross-to-net and net-to-gross?
Gross-to-net starts from your contractual salary and calculates what you take home after deductions — the direction this calculator works in. Net-to-gross works backwards: if you know the take-home pay you want, it estimates the gross salary your employer would need to offer.
