Questions
Why is the 13th and 14th salary taxed less?
Holiday pay and Christmas pay are special payments with a lower tax: the first 620 euros are tax free, then 6% applies up to 25,000 euros. The chamber levy and housing levy are not charged on them.
Which social insurance do I pay in 2026?
Salaried employees pay 3.87% health, 10.25% pension and 2.95% unemployment insurance, plus 0.5% chamber levy and 0.5% housing levy (0.75% in Vienna). On low pay the unemployment share is reduced, and up to 551.10 euros a month nothing is due.
How close is this to the official calculator?
We compared the results with the gross to net calculator of the Austrian Ministry of Finance in many cases, including family bonus and commuter allowance. Personal allowances, overtime and benefits in kind are left out.
Which commuter allowance can I claim as an expat?
The small Pendlerpauschale applies from a 20 km commute when public transport is reasonable. The large one applies from 2 km when it is not. You also get the Pendlereuro of 6 euros per km a year.
