Net salary in Catalonia: state and regional IRPF
Spanish income tax is charged on two scales at once: the state one, identical in every common-regime community, and the one voted by the community of residence. This page applies the scale voted by Catalonia to the salary you enter, for the city of Barcelona as for the rest of the community.
The state scale and the scale this community has voted are both applied to the same taxable base, each one less the same scale applied to the taxpayer minimum.

🇪🇸 Spain
The scale applied here is the state scale of Art. 63.1 LIRPF plus the scale voted by Catalonia under Art. 74.1, summed bracket by bracket, reaching 50% on the top slice of the base. The Catalan scale is Art. 611-1 of Decret legislatiu 1/2024 in the wording of Decret llei 5/2025, with effect from 1 January 2025. Catalonia applies the state taxpayer minimum of 5,550 EUR to the regional leg: it has approved no increase or reduction of its own.

What the calculation reproduces, what it does not model
The scale applied here is the state scale of Art. 63.1 LIRPF plus the scale voted by Catalonia under Art. 74.1, summed bracket by bracket, reaching 50% on the top slice of the base. The taxpayer's own minimum is applied as a credit at the single-person amount of 5,550 EUR; a taxpayer with dependants or over 65 is entitled to more, which is not modelled, so their tax is slightly over-stated. The employment-income reduction (Art. 20 LIRPF) and the cuota-side deduction for low employment income (disposición adicional 61ª LIRPF, amended with effect from 1 January 2026 by Art. 28 of Real Decreto-ley 5/2026) are both modelled, but each is granted only to a taxpayer whose income other than the employment income in question, exempt income aside, does not exceed 6,500 EUR a year, and the second only on income from an actual employment or statutory relationship: the calculator tests neither condition, since it covers salary only. The 2,000 EUR standard expenses deduction of Art. 19.2.f) is not modelled, so the base is slightly over-stated. The solidarity contribution on pay above the maximum contribution base (Art. 19 bis LGSS) is not modelled: in 2026 it costs the employee 0.19%, 0.21% then 0.24% of the excess by tranche, so contributions are slightly under-stated above 5,101.20 EUR a month. The Basque Country and Navarre levy their own income tax under their Concierto and Convenio and are outside this calculation. The Catalan scale is Art. 611-1 of Decret legislatiu 1/2024 in the wording of Decret llei 5/2025, with effect from 1 January 2025. Catalonia applies the state taxpayer minimum of 5,550 EUR to the regional leg: it has approved no increase or reduction of its own. Deductions voted by the comunidad against its own share of the tax are not modelled: a taxpayer entitled to one pays less than shown.
The two IRPF scales in Catalonia
The general taxable base is charged under the state scale (Art. 63.1 of the income tax law) and under the scale voted by Catalonia (Art. 74.1). Each scale is first applied to the base, then the law subtracts the same scale applied to the taxpayer’s own minimum: 5,550 EUR on the state side, and 5,550 EUR on the community side. For a single taxpayer under 65 with no dependants that mechanism is worth a credit of 1,054.50 EUR against the tax due.

Added together, the two scales take the marginal rate to 50% on the highest slice of the base. Employee social contributions come to 6.50% of gross, capped at 61,214.40 EUR a year, and are deducted from the base before the scales apply.
