How it works

Georgia uses one of the simplest salary-tax systems in the region. Personal income tax is a flat 20% charged on your gross salary, with no tax-free allowance for standard employment income. If you contribute to the 2019 funded pension, a further 2% of gross is deducted as the employee share. Net pay is gross − 20% − (optional 2%). An additional 2% employer contribution and up to 2% state top-up fund your pension too, but they do not reduce your take-home, so they are shown for information only.

Example

A gross salary of 2,000 GEL/month with the pension on: income tax is 20% = 400 GEL, the employee pension is 2% = 40 GEL, so net pay is 2,000 − 400 − 40 = 1,560 GEL a month, or 18,720 GEL a year. Turn the pension off and net rises to 1,600 GEL.
