Estonia Flat Income Tax Calculator 2025
Estonia applies a 20% flat personal income tax rate on employment income as of 2025. Unlike progressive systems with multiple brackets, a flat rate applies the same percentage to all taxable income regardless of amount — which makes the headline tax figure easy to estimate. This calculator turns your gross salary into the income tax due and your net take-home pay, monthly or annual.
How it works
The calculation is a single proportion: income tax = gross × 20%, then net = gross − income tax. The tool defaults to the 20% flat rate (editable if you need a different figure) and lets you toggle between a monthly and an annual basis; when you view monthly figures it also shows the annual equivalent. It deliberately covers personal income tax only — Estonia’s social tax, unemployment insurance and the funded-pension contribution are levied separately, so your real net pay will be lower than this simple figure.
Example
On a gross salary of €1,000 per month:
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Gross | €1,000.00 |
| Income tax (20%) | €200.00 |
| Net take-home | €800.00 |
Over a year that scales to €12,000 gross, €2,400 tax and €9,600 net before social contributions and the basic exemption are applied.
