🇲🇹 Malta
Malta taxes individuals on a progressive scale. This calculator applies the single rates for the 2026 basis year: nothing on the first 12,000 EUR, 15% to 16,000, 25% to 60,000 and 35% above. Married and parent taxpayers have their own, more generous tables, and from the 2026 basis year each of those splits further by the number of children. Employee social security (Class 1) is 10% of the basic wage, capped at 55.93 EUR a week for a person born on or after 1 January 1962, so about 2,908 EUR a year. Malta also runs special programmes for expatriates, including a 15% rate for highly skilled individuals.

What the calculation reproduces, what it does not model
This calculation reproduces the single rates for the 2026 basis year (nothing to 12,000 EUR, then 15%, 25% and 35%) and the Class 1 employee contribution at 10%, capped at 55.93 EUR a week for a person born on or after 1 January 1962. Not modelled: the married and parent tables, more generous and each split by the number of children from this basis year, which the household selector does not offer for Malta; the lower ceiling of a person born before 1962 (49.04 EUR a week); and the 15% rate for highly skilled individuals. The 10% is applied to the whole gross entered, where the law assesses it on the basic wage alone: a gross that includes allowances or the statutory bonus is over-charged, up to the ceiling. Up to 229.44 EUR of weekly wage the contribution is instead a flat 22.94 EUR, the 10% being an option open only to a part-time employee. Outside the calculation: income other than salary.
Tax system in Malta
Malta has progressive income tax rates from 0% to 35%, with the first 12,000 EUR tax-free on the single rates of the 2026 basis year. Employee social security (Class 1) is 10% of the basic wage, capped at 55.93 EUR a week for a person born on or after 1 January 1962, so about 2,908 EUR a year, making the contribution burden relatively low for higher earners. Malta offers several special tax programs for expatriates, including the Highly Qualified Persons Rules with a flat 15% rate. The island's English-speaking environment and EU membership make it attractive for international professionals.
