The same salaries, run through 42 tax systems — ranked, sourced, and updated. The data pages journalists are welcome to cite (with a link).
Every row is computed by the same engine as the calculator: each country taxes the salary in its own currency using its 2026 tables (single resident, universal allowances), and results convert at exchange rates as of 25 September 2026 for ranking. Sources for every region are listed in the methodology.
Estimate only. Not tax advice. Consult a qualified tax professional for your specific situation. Models a single, resident, employed person with no dependents and only universal allowances. Covers income tax + mandatory employee social contributions only — it excludes pensions, student loans, local/city taxes, tax-treaty effects, and most reliefs. Germany and France are flagged approximations; US state figures use 2025 schedules; tax years vary by region.
