How it works
How Spain salary is estimated
The calculator uses an IRPF-style estimate based on state tax bands plus a regional factor, employee social security up to a contribution cap, personal allowance, children estimate, and optional pension contribution.
Monthly net pay = (Gross salary - social security - pension - IRPF estimate) / 12
FAQ
Is this Spain salary calculator official?
No. Agencia Tributaria publishes the official 2026 withholding service and algorithm. This page is a practical net-pay estimate.
What is IRPF?
IRPF is Spain's personal income tax. Salary withholding depends on income, region, family status, contract, deductions, and annualisation.
Why does region matter?
Spain has state and autonomous-community tax components, so Madrid, Catalonia, Andalusia, Valencia, and other regions can produce different net pay.
Does this include 14 payments?
The result is annual net divided by 12. If your salary is paid in 14 instalments, monthly cash can be distributed differently.
What social security rate is used?
The calculator uses a simplified employee social security estimate of 6.47% up to the contribution cap.
Does pension reduce tax?
The pension input is treated as reducing taxable salary. Actual Spanish pension tax relief depends on current annual limits and plan type.
Are children handled exactly?
No. Children are modelled as a simple allowance boost. Exact family minimums depend on age, disability, custody, and household details.
Can expats use it?
Yes for an employee salary estimate. Beckham Law, non-resident tax, cross-border cases, and special regimes need separate handling.
Why can payroll differ?
Payroll withholding is calculated using official annual rules and your employer's information. Bonus timing and contract changes can alter monthly withholding.
How should I use it?
Use it to compare salary offers and rent affordability, then confirm details with an employer, gestor, or official calculator.
