🇫🇷 France
France uses the "quotient familial" system: taxable income is divided by the number of household shares (1 for single, 2 for married, +0.5 per child), brackets are applied, then the result is multiplied back. The 10% professional expenses deduction is applied automatically on salary income, capped at €14,555. CSG/CRDS are calculated on 98.25% of gross salary.

What the calculation reproduces, what it does not model
This calculation reproduces the 2026 scale per household share, the family quotient in the five configurations offered, the 10% deduction capped at 14,555 EUR, CSG and CRDS on 98.25% of gross and the capped retirement contributions. Not modelled: the cap on the family quotient advantage, the deduction from the tax base of retirement contributions and of the deductible share of CSG, which overstates the tax shown, the decote, tax reductions and credits, withholding at source, and the single-parent household.

France uses a progressive income tax system with the quotient familial mechanism that adjusts tax liability based on household composition. The 2026 brackets range from 0% (up to €11,600 per tax share) to 45% on income above €181,917 per share. Social contributions for employees typically represent around 22-25% of gross salary, covering healthcare (Sécurité sociale), retirement (retraite de base and complémentaire), and unemployment insurance. The quotient familial divides taxable income by the number of household shares before applying brackets, then multiplies the result back, which significantly benefits families with children.
