Enter a Finnish salary and this calculator applies the 2026 state earned-income scale, municipal tax at the 2026 average rate, and the employee pension, unemployment and health contributions. Your own municipality sets its own rate, so use the result as a well-grounded estimate rather than an exact payslip figure.

State tax starts at 12.64% on income up to €22,000, then 19% to €32,600, 30.25% to €40,100, 33.25% to €52,100 and 37.5% above that. The old 44.25% top band was abolished for 2026. Municipal tax is charged alongside the state tax at a flat rate set by your municipality: the 2026 income-weighted average is 7.57%, with real rates running from 4.70% to 10.90% (Helsinki is 5.30%). At the average rate, the combined top marginal rate is about 45.07%. Church tax, 1% to 2.25% for members, is not included.
Employees pay 10.17% in social contributions: a pension contribution of 7.30% (8.65% if you are aged 53 to 62), unemployment insurance at 0.89%, and health insurance split into 1.10% for medical care and 0.88% as a daily allowance contribution. The daily allowance part is in law charged only on income above about €17,000; here it is applied from the first euro, a small overstatement at low incomes. The bigger gap runs the other way. The calculator leaves out the earned-income tax credit (up to €3,430), the basic deduction (up to €4,265), the €750 work-expense allowance and the Yle broadcasting tax (capped at €160), and it does not deduct your contributions from the tax base as Finnish law allows. The tax shown is therefore an upper bound, clearly so at lower incomes.
