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.

| Inputs | |
|---|---|
| Gross annual salary | 22,000 EUR |
| Computed by the engine | |
| Social security (Class 1) ✓ pinned | 2,200 EUR |
| Income tax ✓ pinned | 2,100 EUR |
| Net / year ✓ pinned | 17,700 EUR |
| Net / month | 1,475 EUR |
Every computed row comes from the engine, run on the inputs above. Rows marked ✓ pinned are also fixed by a published self-test, so a change to the model that moved them would fail its own tests.
