Montenegro Income Tax Calculator
Montenegro uses a progressive income tax system with a top rate of 15%. Progressive 0%/9%/15%. Sources indicate the 15% rate applies to the whole salary once monthly pay passes €1,000 (a cliff, not a pure marginal band), and a municipal surtax of 13–15% of the tax applies on top — neither is modeled.
