About YourNetSalary
Free, accurate salary calculations for workers in 22 countries.
Our Mission
Salary transparency shouldn't be a privilege. When you're negotiating a job offer, considering a move abroad, or just wondering how much actually lands in your account, you should have access to accurate, up-to-date tax information — without wading through government PDFs or paying an accountant.
YourNetSalary exists to make that calculation instant and free for workers in 22 of the world's major economies.
Our Story
YourNetSalary launched in 2026, born out of a frustration familiar to anyone who has ever compared job offers across borders: every country publishes its tax rules, but almost nowhere can you get a straight answer to the only question that matters — "how much will I actually take home?"
Most salary calculators cover one country. The good ones cover a handful. We set out to build one place where a nurse in Manchester, a software engineer in Berlin, and an accountant in Singapore can all get the same thing: their real net salary, calculated from official rates, in seconds.
Who's Behind This
Oğuz Yasin Baş founded YourNetSalary in 2026 and personally maintains it — the calculators, the tax data for all 22 countries, and the review calendar that keeps them current. Every rate on this site was entered from an official government source and cross-checked against that country's own payroll conventions before going live.
One person maintaining 22 tax systems sounds ambitious, and it is — which is exactly why the site leans so hard on primary sources, visible update dates, and a 48-hour correction promise. When a reader in Vienna or Dublin spots something off, it gets fixed, credited, and dated.

What We Do
We maintain free salary after tax calculators for 22 countries, including the UK, US, Germany, Australia, Canada, Ireland, France, the Netherlands, and more. Each calculator uses the official tax rates and thresholds from that country's revenue authority, updated at the start of each tax year.
Beyond the calculators, the site covers:
- Profession guides — real take-home pay for nurses, teachers, software engineers, doctors, lawyers, accountants, data analysts, and project managers in every country we cover, from junior to senior level.
- Country comparisons — side-by-side net salary comparisons (UK vs Ireland, Germany vs Switzerland, US vs Canada, and more) at matching income levels.
- In-depth guides — long-form articles explaining the quirks behind the numbers: Ireland's USC, the Dutch 30% ruling, Singapore's CPF, Italy's impatriati regime, and why Sweden's "60% tax" is mostly a myth.
How We Keep the Data Accurate
Tax rules change every year — and sometimes mid-year. Our process:
- Official sources only. Every rate, threshold, and contribution ceiling comes from the country's revenue authority or finance ministry — never from third-party aggregators.
- Annual review. Each country's calculator is reviewed and updated when its new tax year begins (April for the UK, January for most of Europe, July for Australia).
- Mid-year changes. When a government announces a significant change (a new bracket, an emergency budget), we update the affected calculator as soon as the change is confirmed.
- Visible dates. Every calculator page shows which tax year it uses and when it was last updated, so you never have to guess whether the numbers are current.
- 48-hour corrections. If a reader reports a confirmed error with a link to the official source, we correct it within 48 hours.
The full methodology — including how we model each country's income tax, social contributions, and levies — is documented on our How We Calculate page.
How the Site Is Funded
YourNetSalary is free to use and always will be. The site is supported by advertising. That funding model never influences our numbers: we don't sell placements in our data, we don't rank or recommend financial products in exchange for payment, and we don't sell or share the salary figures you enter — calculations run entirely in your browser and are never transmitted to our servers.
Our Data Sources
Every tax rate on this site comes from official government sources, including:
- United Kingdom: HM Revenue & Customs (gov.uk)
- United States: Internal Revenue Service (irs.gov)
- Germany: Bundesministerium der Finanzen (bundesfinanzministerium.de)
- Australia: Australian Taxation Office (ato.gov.au)
- Canada: Canada Revenue Agency (canada.ca)
- Ireland: Revenue Commissioners (revenue.ie)
- And the equivalent authorities for all 22 countries we cover — each calculator links to its official source at the bottom of the page.
Editorial Principles
- Numbers first. Every claim about tax or take-home pay is backed by a rate you can verify at the official source we link.
- Local reality, not generic advice. Our guides use the terms people actually encounter — Steuerklasse in Germany, USC and PRSI in Ireland, CPF in Singapore, tredicesima in Italy — because that's what your payslip will say.
- No fear, no hype. Tax content is full of scare headlines. We publish the boring, accurate version: what you pay, what you keep, and why.
- Estimates, clearly labelled. Where individual circumstances change the outcome (pensions, benefits, tax reliefs), we say so rather than pretending one number fits everyone.
Accuracy & Limitations
Our calculators provide estimates based on standard employment. They do not account for individual circumstances such as pension contributions, student loan repayments, company benefits, tax reliefs, or self-employment income. For personalised tax advice, please consult a qualified tax professional.
We update our rates at the start of each tax year and as soon as significant mid-year changes are announced. If you notice an error, please contact us — we correct confirmed errors within 48 hours.
