Frequently asked questions
Why is Austrian pay split into 14?
Austrian employees usually get 14 salaries a year: 12 regular ones plus holiday and Christmas pay, which are taxed at a favourable flat 6%.
Does Portugal's IRS Jovem apply?
Not included here. Under-35s in their first 10 years of work can have part of their income exempt (100% in year 1, falling to 25%), which can greatly reduce tax.
What's missing for Belgium?
Dependent-child allowances, the work bonus for low earners, the special social security contribution and meal vouchers. The result is typically within a few percent.
