How does this calculator work?

The formula is straightforward regardless of country:

  1. Start with your base gross salary
  2. Add any night shift bonus and overtime bonus (calculated from your hourly rate)
  3. Deduct social/pension contribution (your share)
  4. Deduct health insurance (your share)
  5. Apply income tax to the remaining amount

The result is your estimated net take-home salary.

Country preset rates

Presets use approximate employee-portion rates for 2026. Employer contributions are not included (they don't affect your take-home). For countries with progressive tax (UK, Germany, USA), the preset uses the most common marginal rate for shift workers. Always verify with your payslip.
