🇮🇹 Italy
Italy reformed IRPEF from 4 to 3 brackets in 2024, updated for 2026: 23% up to 28,000 EUR, 33% to 50,000 EUR (reduced from 35%), and 43% above. Regional (~1.7%) and municipal (~0.8%) surcharges add approximately 2.5% to effective rates. Employee INPS contributions are 9.19% (capped at 119,650 EUR/year for post-1995 employees). A tax deduction for employment income effectively creates a no-tax area up to ~8,500 EUR. For 2025, a new bonus replaces the prior contribution cut for incomes up to 20,000 EUR.

What the calculation reproduces, what it does not model
Regional and communal surcharges (addizionali) are included at a representative combined rate of about 2.5%; the actual rate varies by region and municipality, roughly 2% to 4%. Employment tax credits (detrazioni per lavoro dipendente), which lower the tax most at lower incomes, are not yet modelled, so the income tax shown can be overstated for lower salaries.
