Estimate onlyA quick guide, not financial advice. Open a calculator for the full breakdown.
A salary or tax question rarely has one worldwide answer, which is why every country here gets its own calculator built on that country's actual rules: PAYE bands and National Insurance for the UK, federal brackets plus FICA and a state layer for the US, the official income tax formula with social insurance ceilings for Germany, and so on across twenty five markets. Each tax figure is taken from the national authority that publishes it, dated to the year it applies to, and checked against an official worked example before the page goes live. The editorial standards page describes that process, and the comparison tools put countries side by side on purchasing power, cost of living and take-home pay when the question is where, not how much.

Is National Calculators free to use? +
Yes. Every calculator is free with no sign-up. Calculations run in your browser, so the numbers you type are never sent to a server or stored.
How accurate are the figures? +
Country-specific calculators use official government and tax-authority figures. Each one links to its source and shows the tax year it applies to. They are estimates for general guidance, not financial, tax or legal advice.
Which countries are covered? +
National Calculators covers 25 countries. Nine have fully localised tax calculators (the United Kingdom, Ireland, the United States, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and Poland); the rest have universal tools such as BMI, percentages and loan maths adapted to local currency and units, with more localised markets added over time.
What languages can I use it in? +
The site defaults to English and offers each country in its main local language. Switch language or country from the top navigation at any time.
Who is behind National Calculators? +
National Calculators is built and maintained by Vikas Dulgunde, a software engineer. Country tax figures come from official publications and are dated to the year they apply to.
