Net salary from €22,000 gross

What this assumes

• You pay the cuota at the minimum base of your tramo. You can choose a higher base up to the tramo's maximum, which costs more and raises your future benefits.
• The cuota is deducted in full from IRPF. The 5% gastos de difícil justificación (max €2,000) applies in estimación directa simplificada and reduces tax only, so no cash leaves.
• Profile changes adjust the minimum and family amounts and the joint return reduction. Regional deductions and deductions for mothers, large families and disability are not included.
• Navarra, Álava, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa use their own tax systems, calculated here for individual returns only. In Álava, the extras for small municipalities and for children aged 6 to 15 are not applied.
• In Ceuta and Melilla, all income is treated as earned there and gets the 60% deduction. The 2026 emergency measures for Ceuta are not applied.
• This income is your only income. Savings, rent or a payroll job would change the IRPF.
• Figures are for a full year, without credits for rent, pension plans or the first two profitable years of a new activity.
• The tarifa plana for new autónomos is not applied.
• IVA is left out because you collect it for Hacienda. The cuota de solidaridad applies to payroll employees, so it does not appear here.

• You work full time for one employer for the full year.
• Contributions stop growing at the maximum base of €5,101.20 a month. Pay above it adds the cuota de solidaridad, of which your share is 0.19% to 0.24%.
• Outside Navarra and the País Vasco, IRPF uses the general €2,000 deduction for other expenses. The extra amounts for moving for work or for disability are not applied.
• Below €20,048.45 of gross salary, the SMI deduction of up to €590.89 is applied, except in Navarra and the País Vasco.
• Profile changes adjust the minimum and family amounts and the joint return reduction. Regional deductions and deductions for mothers, large families and disability are not included.
• Navarra, Álava, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa use their own tax systems, calculated here for individual returns only. In Álava, the extras for small municipalities and for children aged 6 to 15 are not applied.
• In Ceuta and Melilla, all income is treated as earned there and gets the 60% deduction. The 2026 emergency measures for Ceuta are not applied.
• All pay is cash salary, and this is your only income. Benefits in kind, savings or rent would change the IRPF.
• Your employer pays its own contributions on top of your gross salary. So a gross figure does not cost a company the same as the same amount invoiced by an autónomo.
