Belgium gross to net salary
Estimate your monthly take-home pay as an employee in Belgium from your gross salary (2026 scale).
How it works
Gross − social security (13.07%) = taxable pay. Over the year: flat professional expenses (30%, max €6,070), progressive tax (25% up to €16,720, 40% up to €29,510, 45% up to €51,070, 50% above), minus the tax-free allowance (€11,180 at 25%), plus municipal tax. Estimate for a single person without children: monthly withholding on the payslip can be a little higher, and the low-wage work bonus is not included.
Results are for guidance only and do not replace professional advice.
