For employees: pay, holiday and benefits
From salary to benefits – this page gathers the calculators an employee needs most often, with the key 2026 figures.
Pay and taxes
The salary calculator shows how much of the gross salary you take home (or what gross a desired net requires). The basic exemption in 2026 is €700 per month for everyone – check with the basic exemption calculator whether to submit the application. In spring, the refund calculator estimates overpaid income tax.Your key figures for 2026
