How This Calculator Works

  1. 1. Set one gross salary

    Choose the same annual gross salary for both countries so the comparison starts from one like-for-like input.

  2. 2. Choose countries and household type

    Select the two OECD countries and the household model that best matches the comparison you need to make.

  3. 3. Read the result in context

    Compare employee deductions, nominal net pay, and PPP-adjusted take-home together. This is a comparable OECD model, not an individual tax return or income forecast.

Income tax rates and employee social security contributions come from OECD Taxing Wages (2025 data). PPP factors come from the OECD PPP programme; see the methodology for the source and calculation boundaries.
