1. What is Monthly Net Salary?

The monthly net salary is the amount an employee takes home after deducting income tax and social security contributions from their gross salary. It represents the actual amount received in the bank account each month.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• \( \text{Gross Salary} \) — Annual salary before deductions (EUR)
• \( \text{2025 Income Tax} \) — Total annual income tax for 2025 (EUR)
• \( \text{Social Security} \) — Total annual social security contributions (EUR)

Explanation: The calculation first converts the annual gross salary to monthly amount, then subtracts the monthly portions of income tax and social security contributions.

3. Importance of Net Salary Calculation

4. Using the Calculator
