🇦🇹 Austria

Employee social insurance contributions total 18.07% (pension 10.25%, health 3.87%, unemployment 2.95%, AK levy 0.5%, housing 0.5%), capped at a monthly Höchstbeitragsgrundlage of 6,930 EUR, and are fully deductible from the income tax base. The 13th and 14th monthly salaries of a typical Austrian contract are taxed at a preferential flat rate of 6%. A transport tax credit (Verkehrsabsetzbetrag) of 496 EUR/year is applied automatically.

What the calculation reproduces, what it does not model
The tax scale is applied to income after deducting employee social insurance contributions, which are fully deductible, and the transport tax credit (Verkehrsabsetzbetrag, 496 EUR) is subtracted from the tax. The gross entered is treated as 12 equal monthly payments: the preferential flat taxation of the 13th and 14th salaries in a typical Austrian 14-payment contract is not modelled, so the actual net for such a contract is somewhat higher than shown. The unemployment contribution is modelled at its standard 2.95% rate; it is reduced at monthly pay below 2,630 EUR.
