Methodology
Calculation scope
SalaryAfterTax.eu focuses on employee gross salary to employee net salary. Unless a page states otherwise, the calculators include income tax and mandatory employee social contributions. They do not include employer-side costs, private living costs, or every edge-case deduction that may apply to an individual filing situation.
Source collection
Tax rates, thresholds, allowances, and payroll contribution rules are assembled from official public sources such as national finance ministries, tax authorities, and social insurance institutions. Country notes and guide content are reviewed against those same source families before publication.
Update process
- Review annual tax-year changes by country.
- Update rate tables, ceilings, and allowances in the calculation engines.
- Re-check country notes and guide copy when material assumptions change.
- Label the active tax year on calculators and supporting pages.
What users should verify
Some countries have location-specific, family-specific, or contract-specific rules that require manual verification. If your case depends on municipal taxes, special expat regimes, private insurance treatment, family quotient rules, or stock compensation, use the calculator as a starting point and confirm the result with a qualified advisor or the relevant tax authority.
Editorial review
Guides are published under named authors and connected to author profile pages. If you spot a mistake or an outdated rule, contact hello@salaryaftertax.eu so it can be reviewed and corrected.
