Questions
How is net salary calculated in Portugal?
Your gross is reduced by employee social security of 11% and by IRS income tax. IRS is charged on your gross less the specific deduction (the higher of about 4,587 euro or your social security), on a progressive scale from 12.5% to 48%. A solidarity surcharge of 2.5% to 5% applies to high incomes.
Is it 12 or 14 payments?
Portuguese employees are usually paid 14 times: 12 months plus a holiday subsidy and a Christmas subsidy. Choose 14 or 12: the annual net is the same either way, only the per-month figure changes.
Does it cover Madeira and the Azores?
Not yet. This calculator uses the mainland (Continente) rates. Madeira and the Azores apply their own, lower IRS rates, so a resident there would keep a little more. A regional version is on the way.
How accurate is it?
It uses the 2026 mainland IRS brackets, the specific deduction, and the 11% social security rate, so it is close for a normal salary. It is the annual income tax; your monthly withholding may differ and is squared up in the annual return. Receipt-based tax credits (health, education) and per-dependent credits are not modelled.
