Net salary calculator 2026

In the Czech Republic, the average wage is CZK 48,967 and the minimum wage CZK 22,400. The 23% rate applies to the part of the salary above CZK 146,901 a month. The taxpayer credit stays at CZK 2,570, and child credits are unchanged from 2025. In Slovakia, the minimum wage is EUR 915, the tax-free allowance EUR 497.23 a month, and social security is capped at an assessment base of EUR 16,764 a month.

In the Czech Republic, the employee pays 7.1% social security and 4.5% health insurance. The employer adds 24.8% social security and 9% health insurance on top of the gross salary, 33.8% in total. In Slovakia, the employee pays 9.4% social security and 5% health insurance, and the employer 25.2% social security (including 0.8% accident insurance) and 11% health insurance.

In the Czech Republic, your employer won't apply any tax credits or child tax benefits. You can claim the credits later in your tax return. In Slovakia, your employer applies the tax-free allowance and the child tax bonus only if you sign the declaration for claiming them (Section 36(6) of the Slovak Income Tax Act).

In the Czech Republic, only one parent can claim it, and they must live with the child in the same household. You decide the order of your children yourself. The calculator puts children with a ZTP/P card last, because that gives the highest credit. In Slovakia, the calculator applies the child tax bonus of EUR 100 for each child under 15 and EUR 50 for each child from 15 to 18.

No. Both of these Czech tax credits were abolished as of 2024.

The calculator works with your base monthly salary. Your payslip also reflects vacation pay, sick pay, bonuses, deductions, or benefits.

In the Czech Republic, social security in 2026 is paid on at most CZK 2,350,416, which is 48 times the average wage. Once you reach it, neither you nor your employer pays it for the rest of the year. The calculator asks about your year-to-date income as soon as the cap could apply to you. In Slovakia, the cap is monthly: social security is paid on at most EUR 16,764 a month, while health insurance is paid on the whole salary.

In the Czech Republic, an old-age pensioner receiving a full pension has had a 6.5% reduction in social security since 2025, so they pay only the 0.6% sickness insurance. They apply for the reduction with their employer. The employer still pays 24.8% for them. The calculator covers this for the Czech Republic only.

The calculator finds the lowest gross salary that leaves you with the net amount you entered, or a few koruna or cents more, after all deductions.

In 2026, social security and health insurance apply to an agreement to complete a job (DPP) only from CZK 12,000 a month with one employer, and to an agreement to perform work (DPC) from CZK 4,500. Below the limit, without a signed declaration, a 15% withholding tax is deducted. With a declaration, or above the limit, a tax advance is deducted and credits apply. In Slovakia, the calculator covers employment contracts only.

In the Czech Republic, health insurance is paid on at least the minimum wage of CZK 22,400, so at least CZK 3,024 a month. If your salary is lower, you pay the difference yourself. The exceptions are people for whom the state also pays insurance (such as students, pensioners, and parents on parental leave), holders of a ZTP or ZTP/P card, and self-employed people who pay advances of at least the minimum. If you have more than one job, your salaries are added together.
