People comparing income-tax systems across countries
Worth noticing
The country comparison excludes cost-of-living adjustments and describes its results as useful for perspective, not tax filing.

Field notes

The employee model combines national income tax, a typical regional or municipal tax where applicable, and employee social contributions. The page says it simplifies some tax schedules and uses fixed exchange rates dated 15 October 2026. It also cautions that the comparisons omit cost of living and individual circumstances, so they are for perspective rather than filing.
