Italy Income Tax Calculator
Italy uses a progressive income tax system with a top rate of 43%. National IRPEF only — excludes regional and municipal surtaxes (typically 1-3% combined). No flat personal allowance; Italy instead uses employment-income tax credits that create an effective no-tax zone for low earners, not modeled.

You are an Italian tax resident if registered in the civil registry, or resident/domiciled in Italy for more than 183 days in a calendar year.
Common deductions and allowances: Employment income tax credit (detrazioni da lavoro dipendente); Regional surtax (addizionale regionale, roughly 1-3%) and municipal surtax — both apply on top of national IRPEF; Dependent family member deductions; Mortgage interest and medical expense credits (19% of the qualifying amount).
