How we calculate it

This is an estimate to compare countries, not a payslip. Deductions, children or bonuses can move your number.

  • A single person with no children, using the default values of each country's calculator.
  • Take-home pay is what's left after income tax and the employee's own contributions. It leaves out sales tax and what the employer pays.
  • A 13th-month salary or other mandatory extra pay is spread over the year as each country's law says.
  • In the United States no state or local income tax is added: only federal tax and payroll contributions.
  • To carry your salary to another country we use purchasing power parity (PPP): the same standard of living, not today's exchange rate.
  • Argentina's PPP is brought forward with INDEC's consumer price index, because the World Bank only publishes it up to 2021.
  • Your freedom day spreads your tax over the year from 1 January. If 30% of your pay goes in tax, you work for the government 30% of the year.

Frequently asked questions

What is Tax Freedom Day?

It's the day of the year when you finish paying your taxes, if everything you earned from 1 January went to the government first. Here it's worked out from your salary, not the national average.

Why compare by buying power?

Exchange rates make a salary look huge or tiny depending on the day. PPP compares what that money can actually buy in each country.

Is my salary stored?

No. The math runs in your browser. What you share only carries dates, percentages and countries.

Why is my real take-home pay different?

We assume a single person with no children and default values. Deductions, bonuses or special schemes change the number. For your exact case, open your country's calculator.

Which countries are included?

114 countries today, each with its own take-home pay calculator and official data. We add more as we verify their tax rules.
