How Income Tax Works in Spain

Spain combines a national tax with regional ("autonomous community") taxes — the headline 47% top rate reflects the combined ceiling. Social Security is mandatory but lower than most of Europe at about 6.4% for employees. The Mínimo personal of €5,550 is small relative to other deductions, but tax credits and family adjustments reduce the practical burden. The Beckham Law allows qualifying inbound expats to be taxed at a flat 24% on Spanish-source income for up to six years.

Worked example. On a €75,000 salary, income tax is roughly €14,800 and Social Security roughly €4,613 — about €55,587 take-home.

What this calculator shows. Move the slider in the calculator above to your gross salary. Every figure — tax owed, effective rate, marginal rate, social contributions, take-home — is computed bracket-by-bracket from the IRPF tarifa estatal 2026 statutory tables. There is no estimation or rounding.
