How net salary in Malta is calculated

Maltese payroll deducts Class 1 social security (10% of the basic weekly wage, capped) from gross, then charges income tax on the single-person scale.

Malta uses a subtraction method: tax is a rate times income minus a fixed per-band amount, giving 0/15/25/35% effective bands. Married and parent computations use different scales. Estimate, not tax advice.
