About Salarium

Salarium answers one question per page: how much of a salary is left after tax and contributions, in the country and language you are paid in.

Each country has its own engine that follows that country's payroll rules for the current tax year: the German Programmablaufplan, HMRC bands and National Insurance thresholds, the Dutch loonheffing with its tax credits, Canadian federal and provincial tax, Australian tax with the Medicare levy. Every rate carries the source it came from and the date it was checked.

A country goes live only when its engine reproduces a set of test cases. When a value could not yet be confirmed with an official source, the page says so next to the figure.

The site is funded by advertising. Ads never appear above a result and never change a figure.
