Holiday pay is already part of take-home: it is shown separately so you can see its value after tax. Pension counts your own and the employer's contributions, which belong to you but are not paid out until retirement.

Allowances, expenses and tax regimes

Paid through payroll within each legal limit. Items marked "Tax and social security free" are paid out of the rate before employer costs, so they also save employer contributions. "Income-tax free" items still carry social security. Gains are per year at your current rate.

Country notes and rates used

Czechia: Tax is charged on gross pay (contributions not deductible). 23% applies above 36× the average wage. Basic taxpayer credit CZK 30,840.

Contractor method: assignment income less the admin charge funds the full employment cost. Employer social contributions and employer pension are solved out first; the remainder is gross salary, which then carries employee contributions and income tax.

Employee pension is treated as deductible from taxable income and not from social security. Check the local scheme limits.

Household (single, no children): No effect on payroll withholding in this country. Household rules use 2026 figures where published; children are assumed to be under 18 and living with you, and dependent parents to live in your household.

Allowances and regimes: limits are 2026 where confirmed; items marked "check" in their conditions should be confirmed before use. Tax-free allowances must be paid within each legal limit and condition, usually on top of agreed pay rather than by converting salary (Germany and Austria in particular). Expat regimes need an approved application.

UK figures use HMRC 2026/27 rates and thresholds (tax code 1257L, category A NI, cumulative annual basis). Swiss figures use 2026 AHV/ALV/BVG rates and ESTV 2026 tax burden for each cantonal capital. EU figures model each country's main income tax, employee and employer social contributions for a single resident with no dependants, using 2025–26 parameters; regional and municipal rates, household circumstances (marital status, children, dependent parents), tax-free allowances and special regimes are modelled from 2026 rules where published, with some simplification. Use the results for quoting and illustration, and confirm with in-country payroll before contracting.
