About the calculator
How Our Net Salary Calculator Works
Simulate your monthly paycheck based on your gross annual salary (RAL), applying employee deductions, INPS contributions, and IRPEF taxes, to clearly display your final salary, both monthly and annually.
How is Net Salary Calculated?
Start with your gross salary (RAL), subtract social security contributions (INPS ~9%) and personal income tax (IRPEF calculation for 2024 or 2025), add superminimum bonuses and deductions. Result: net salary on your paycheck, as for RAL 30,000 or RAL 45,000.
More information.
Is the calculated net salary accurate?
Yes, with accurate data, there’s no margin for error. Algorithms updated to 2026 ensure accuracy for contracts like the National Collective Bargaining Agreement for the Metalworkers or Tourism Industry (level 5 net salary or level 4).
Tax Wedge 2026
The 2026 tax wedge provides a contribution relief of up to 7%, reducing the INPS contribution paid by the worker and increasing the final salary at no cost to the company. This affects every calculation, from gross to net.

Tax Deductions and Bonuses 2026

Deductions for Deductible Expenses
