How Nettogehalt (net salary) in Austria is calculated
Austrian payroll deducts 18.07% social insurance up to a monthly ceiling, then charges Lohnsteuer on a progressive scale from 0% to 55%, reduced by the traffic tax credit.
The 13th and 14th salaries are taxed at a favourable flat rate, and salaries are paid over 14 instalments. The calculator shows the contributions and taxable base. Estimate, not tax advice.

Frequently asked questions
What is the taxable base for 3,000 EUR x 14 in Austria?
Social insurance of 7,589.40 leaves a taxable base of about 34,411 EUR before the progressive Lohnsteuer scale.
Why 14 salary payments?
Austria pays a 13th and 14th salary (holiday and Christmas), taxed at a favourable flat rate.
What is the SV ceiling?
Social insurance is only charged up to a monthly maximum (6,450 EUR in 2025), so high earners pay a lower effective rate.
