How are taxes, social security contributions, and pension deductions calculated and shown on payslips?

The calculation of taxes, social security contributions, and pensions depends on:

• Local tax laws and rates (progressive or flat)

• Employee’s personal tax situation (e.g., exemptions, allowances)

• Mandatory contributions (healthcare, pension, unemployment, etc.)

Payslips generally show these deductions item by item so you can see how your gross salary is reduced to your net salary.

Since rules differ by country, the exact calculation cannot be standardized globally. If you need help interpreting your payslip, please contact support.
