What is the income tax rate in Hungary in 2025?

Hungary applies a flat personal income tax rate of 15% in 2025. This is a genuine flat rate — the same percentage applies regardless of income level, unlike progressive systems with multiple brackets.

How do I calculate income tax in Hungary?

Multiply your gross income by 0.15 (15%). For example, a gross salary of Ft 1000 results in Ft 150.00 in income tax and a net take-home of Ft 850.00. Note that social contributions are not included.

Does the 15% flat tax include social security contributions?

No. The 15% rate covers personal income tax only. Hungary levies social security, health insurance, and other contributions separately on top of this. Your actual net pay will be lower than this calculator shows.

Are under-25s exempt from income tax in Hungary?

Hungary exempts personal income tax for those under 25 on employment income up to the national average wage. Above that threshold the standard 15% applies. This calculator uses the flat 15% by default, so adjust for the exemption if it applies to you.

Is the 15% the same for monthly and annual income?

Yes. Because it is a flat rate with no brackets, 15% of your monthly salary times 12 equals 15% of your annual salary. The calculator just multiplies whichever period you enter.

Is my data sent anywhere when I use this calculator?

Hungary Flat Income Tax Calculator 2025

Hungary applies a 15% flat personal income tax rate on employment income as of 2025. Unlike progressive tax systems with multiple brackets, a flat rate means the same percentage applies to all taxable income regardless of amount.

Enter your gross salary (monthly or annual) to instantly calculate your income tax and net take-home pay. Switch between monthly and annual views using the toggle. The calculator applies the flat tax rate only — social security, health insurance, and other contributions are not included and will reduce actual take-home pay further.

How it works

The calculation is a single multiplication, because Hungary uses a true flat rate rather than tax brackets:

Income tax = gross income × 15%
Net take-home (PIT only) = gross income − income tax

When monthly view is selected, the calculator also shows the annualised figures (the monthly amounts × 12). The 15% rate is editable, but the default reflects the 2025 statutory flat rate. Because there are no brackets, the effective rate is 15% at every income level.

Example

For a gross monthly salary of Ft 500,000:

Income tax = 500,000 × 0.15 = Ft 75,000
Net (PIT only) = 500,000 − 75,000 = Ft 425,000
Annual gross = Ft 6,000,000; annual tax = Ft 900,000

Remember this is before social contributions, which are deducted separately.

Gross	Income tax (15%)	Net (PIT only)
Ft 300,000	Ft 45,000	Ft 255,000
Ft 500,000	Ft 75,000	Ft 425,000
Ft 1,000,000	Ft 150,000	Ft 850,000

All calculations run entirely in your browser — no salary figures are ever sent to a server.
