What the calculation reproduces, what it does not model
The standard employment deduction (deducao especifica) is applied to the regular progressive tax as the greater of 4,587 EUR and the social contributions, so the tax base is gross minus that deduction. The minimo de existencia, a low-income tax floor, is not modelled, so tax is over-stated for low incomes. The solidarity surcharge (2.5% above 80,000 EUR and 5% above 250,000 EUR) is not modelled, so tax is under-stated for high incomes. The NHR regime shows 20% on gross income, without the standard deduction. The IRS Jovem youth regime and the deductions for dependents and married-couple splitting are not modelled, as they depend on age, career year or household.

Portugal's income tax (IRS) is progressive with rates from 13% to 48%. Employee social security contributions are 11% of gross salary. Portugal has attracted expatriates through tax incentive programs, including the Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) regime, which offered a 20% flat rate on qualifying Portuguese-source employment income for ten years. While the classic NHR program was reformed in 2024, successor schemes continue to offer preferential treatment for certain categories of workers. Enter your gross salary to convert it to net take-home pay under the IRS schedule.
