Free salary, tax & finance tools for 28 European countries
11 followers
Free gross-to-net salary, VAT, self-employed and hourly calculators for 28 European countries, plus finance tools (compound interest, loan, rent vs buy, pay rise) with charts and PDF export. Every rate is read from official 2026 primary sources, nothing guessed. Compare take-home pay across the Eurozone adjusted for cost of living, in 7 languages. No signup, embeddable.
Adding a side-by-side yearly vs monthly breakdown per country would be really helpful, especially for freelancers trying to plan ahead. Would love to see exportable CSV alongside the PDF option too.
@samet1092360 thanks, really appreciate this! 🙏 A clear side-by-side monthly/annual view and CSV export next to the PDF are both great calls, especially for freelancers planning ahead. Adding them to the list — I'll ping you here once they're live. Which countries would you most want to line up?
@samet1092360 update: this is live now 🎉 Every salary and self-employed calculator has a CSV export button right next to the PDF one, and the CSV lays out each line with annual and monthly columns side by side — so it drops straight into a spreadsheet. Thanks again for the nudge, genuinely useful call!
Tried the German gross-to-net calculator and got the exact same number as my payslip this month, which is honestly the best thing a tool like this can do. Also nice that there's no signup wall.
@selma175778 this genuinely made my day 🙏 Matching a real payslip to the cent is exactly the bar I was aiming for — every German figure (Lohnsteuer, Soli, and the KV/PV/RV/AV contributions with the 2026 Bemessungsgrenzen) is read straight from official sources, nothing estimated, so it's really good to hear it landed right where it should. And no signup wall, ever — a calculator should just answer your question and let you get on with your day. Thank you so much for taking the time to try it and comment!
Pulled up the German take-home calc out of curiosity and the breakdown was the cleanest I've seen, with the church tax actually split out properly. The 2026 source links tucked behind each rate is a nice touch.
@gllilaw thank you, that's exactly what I was going for 🙏 The church tax and the per-rate source links were both deliberate — I wanted every line traceable to an official 2026 figure rather than a black box, so a "where does this number come from?" is always one click away. Kirchensteuer trips up a lot of calculators because it varies by Bundesland (8 vs 9%), so I'm really glad it read cleanly. Appreciate you digging into the detail!
the cost of living adjustment across eurozone countries is honestly really useful, way more than just a basic paycheck calculator
@kadriyeirvowna this is exactly the part I hoped would land 🙏 A raw net number doesn't tell you much on its own — €3,000 net goes a very different distance in Lisbon than in Amsterdam. So the comparison adjusts take-home across the Eurozone using Eurostat price-level data, which is really the question most people are actually asking: where does my salary go furthest? Thank you for calling it out — made my day!
genuinely impressed that every rate pulls from official 2026 sources, no estimates baked in. the cost-of-living comparison across the eurozone is honestly the kind of feature i wish existed when i was job hunting abroad
@kuzeyvv1l this means a lot 🙏 The "no estimates baked in" part is the whole reason it exists — I'd rather show a number I can point to an official 2026 source for than a confident guess. And job-hunting abroad is exactly the use case I had in mind: a raw salary tells you very little until you see what it's actually worth once cost of living is factored in. Thanks for taking the time to say so!
Pulled up the Germany calculator and the numbers matched my payslip exactly, which never happens with these tools. The cross-country cost of living comparison is a really nice touch for anyone considering a move within the Eurozone.
