What counts as taxable income in Spain
This calculator treats your gross annual employment income, in EUR, as taxable income, then subtracts an estimated standard deduction of €5,550 and applies the 2026 brackets above.
You are a Spanish tax resident if present 183+ days in the calendar year, or if your main economic interests or family are based in Spain.
Common deductions and allowances: Personal and family minimum (mínimo personal y familiar) — a tax-free portion of income; Autonomous community deductions, which vary significantly by region; Pension plan contributions, up to an annual cap; Beckham Law regime — a flat 24% rate for qualifying new foreign workers, for up to six years.
Seguridad Social is separate from income tax and is not included in the estimate. Employees contribute around 6.4% of gross salary to Social Security (pension, unemployment, training), while the employer pays a much larger share, roughly 30%.
