Paycheck calculators for major European countries
Pick your country for a dedicated take-home pay calculator. Europe is structured like our US state pages — one page per tax jurisdiction, each with its own engine and currency.
How European take-home pay differs from the US
European net pay often includes larger mandatory social contributions than a typical US FICA line, while income tax schedules and credits vary by country. Use Germany, France, Netherlands, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Sweden, or Switzerland pages for local estimates.
Choosing the right country page
Start with the country where you are taxed as a resident employee. Cross-border workers, posted workers, and dual-tax treaties are outside this tool’s scope — those cases need local advice.
