How Зарплата на руки (take-home pay) in Russia is calculated

From 2025 Russia moved from a near-flat tax to a five-band NDFL scale: 13% up to 2.4M RUB a year, then 15%, 18%, 20% and 22% on successive bands. Each rate applies only to the income inside its band.

Social contributions are an employer cost, so the employee net is simply gross minus NDFL. The calculator works on annual income and shows the monthly equivalent. Estimate, not tax advice.

Frequently asked questions

What is the take-home for 120,000 RUB a month in Russia?

At 1.44M RUB a year the whole amount sits in the 13% band, so NDFL is 187,200 and the monthly net is about 104,400 RUB.

How does the 2025 progressive scale work?

Each band has its own rate (13/15/18/20/22%) applied only to the income within it, so higher earners pay the top rate on the excess, not on everything.

Do employees pay social contributions?

No — insurance contributions are paid by the employer and do not reduce take-home.
