How pay after tax works in Italy

Italy charges national income tax (IRPEF) on a three-rate scale of 23%, 35% and 43%, after employee INPS social security is deducted from gross pay. On top of the national tax, your region and your comune add their own surcharges (addizionali), which is why the same salary nets a little differently in Rome, Milan or Naples.

Employees benefit from a work deduction (detrazione per lavoro dipendente) that reduces the tax and phases out as income rises, plus measures aimed at lower and middle incomes. The calculator applies IRPEF, INPS, the employee deduction and the regional and municipal surcharges for your location to give your net stipendio.

What this calculator works out

  • National income tax (IRPEF) on the three-rate scale
  • Employee INPS social security
  • The employee work deduction (detrazione per lavoro dipendente)
  • Regional and municipal surcharges (addizionali) for all 20 regions
