How pay after tax works in Spain
Spain splits income tax (IRPF) between the national government and your autonomous community, each applying its own scale to half the tax base. This is why the same salary can be taxed differently in Madrid, Catalonia or Andalusia. Social Security contributions are deducted from gross pay first, at a capped employee rate, and they fund pensions, healthcare and unemployment.
A personal and family minimum shields the first part of income, and employment-income reductions help lower earners. The special regime for inbound workers, often called the Beckham Law, lets qualifying new arrivals be taxed at a flat rate instead. The calculator applies the state and regional scales, Social Security and the reductions for your community.
