The employment fund surtax is applied at 7%. The higher 9% rate above 150,000 EUR income is not modelled (the standard case is below it). The 2026 social parameters (pension 8.50%, the contribution ceiling) follow the official CCSS/IGSS table as republished by FEDIL. The income tax schedule is the enacted 2025 class 1 (single) scale. The taxable base deducts the health and pension contributions; the 1.4% dependency contribution is not deductible (Social Security Code, Art. 378) and is itself levied on gross minus a monthly abatement of one quarter of the social minimum wage. The class 1a and class 2 household treatments are not modelled, and the additional tax-free allowances under the impatriation regime are not modelled.

🇱🇺 Luxembourg

Luxembourg uses a finely-stepped progressive tax system. The 2025 class-1 schedule runs 0% up to 13,230 EUR, then 8% to 42%, with the top 42% rate from 234,870 EUR. A "quotient conjugal" applies to married couples (class 2). The employment fund surtax adds 7% of the income tax (9% above 150,000 EUR income). Employee social contributions are health 3.05% and pension 8.50% (capped at the 162,224.16 EUR/year ceiling) plus the 1.4% dependency contribution (uncapped). Health and pension contributions reduce the taxable base; the dependency contribution does not. The impatriation regime offers tax relief for qualifying expatriates.

Tax system in Luxembourg

Luxembourg has a progressive income tax system with rates from 0% to 42%, combined with a solidarity surcharge and municipal tax. Social security contributions for employees total approximately 12-13% of gross salary. Luxembourg is a major financial centre attracting professionals from across Europe. The country's high average salaries and relatively moderate tax rates make it a financially attractive destination, though the high cost of living partially offsets this advantage. Cross-border (frontalier) workers can convert gross to net take-home pay, including the applicable tax-class treatment.
