How This Calculator Works

1. Tax Data Source

Income tax rates and employee social security contributions come from the OECD Taxing Wages 2024 dataset, covering all 38 OECD member countries at multiple income levels.

2. Net Calculation

Net take-home = gross salary × (1 - effective income tax rate - employee SSC rate). Rates are interpolated between OECD data points (67%, 100%, 167% of average wage).

3. PPP Adjustment

PPP factor (local currency per USD PPP) from World Bank ICP converts net local pay to USD purchasing power equivalent. This shows what your salary can actually buy.
