What changes take-home pay

The same gross salary can land very differently from country to country.

Net pay changes with progressive income tax, employee deductions, regional rules, and household settings. The guides make those layers visible before you calculate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, NettoFlow is completely free. No registration or payment is required to use the salary calculator, budget planner, or any other feature.
NettoFlow supports Germany, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Canada, France, United States, Greece, United Kingdom, Italy, Portugal, Netherlands, Spain, Ireland, Croatia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, Poland, Japan, Luxembourg, Sweden, Norway and Czechia โ€” 25 countries in total.
Your net salary is calculated by deducting income tax and social security contributions from your gross salary. The exact amounts depend on the selected country, your income level, and personal parameters such as age, marital status, and number of children.
The calculator models income tax, solidarity surcharge (where applicable), social security contributions (pension, health, unemployment, and care insurance), and country-specific levies. The exact mix depends on the jurisdiction you choose. Some country-specific reliefs are modeled conservatively when they depend on personal data we do not ask for. For example, in Poland the senior FP/FGลšP exemption is only applied from age 60 because the calculator does not collect sex.
Yes. The Country Comparison page lets you enter a salary and compare net income, taxes, and employer costs side by side for multiple countries.
The Flow page shows a Sankey diagram that visually maps your gross salary through taxes and contributions down to net income and budget. It helps you see at a glance where your money goes.
Use the locale switcher in the top navigation bar. Selecting a different country or language instantly updates all calculations and labels.
Employers pay social security contributions on top of your gross salary โ€” covering pension, health, accident, and unemployment insurance. The Employer Costs section shows the total cost of employment, which is useful when negotiating salary or comparing offers across countries where employer burdens differ significantly.
