Questions about the calculators

It calculates exactly the same thing. Both languages call one engine with one set of 2026 parameters, so a gross salary gives the same net in Greek and in English. The English pages are written for people working in Greece who do not read Greek law: terms such as mikta (gross), FMY (tax withheld) or doro (bonus) are explained, and amounts use the English number format.

As an estimate, yes: for a private-sector employee the engine matches the Ministry of Labour’s twelve published examples to within €1.20. A €2,500 gross offer, for instance, gives €1,794 net per payment and €2,094 a month on a twelve-month basis. What it cannot know is your tax residence, other income or special regime, so check those with an accountant before signing.

No. The calculation runs on your device and the code sends nothing to a server; there is no account, no database of salaries and no analytics script loaded today. After you change a field, the values are written into the page address so you can share the result. That address stays in your browser history, so use a private window if you would rather not keep it.

A gap of a euro or two is rounding: payroll software rounds each line, while we round once at the end. Larger gaps usually come from children not declared to the employer, a different age band for the young-worker rates, allowances paid on top of salary, or deductions that are not tax at all, such as a loan or union dues. The payslip checker on this page shows the size of the gap.

Only partly. The salary calculator models private-sector employees on social security package code 101, with 13.37 % withheld from pay and 21.79 % paid by the employer. The income tax scale and the article 16 reduction apply to all employees, but civil servants, arduous occupations and the self-employed (eleftheroi epaggelmaties) pay different contributions, which the engine does not model.

As soon as a change affecting take-home pay is enacted or published: a new minimum wage, an e-EFKA circular raising the ceiling, an amended tax scale or ENFIA rule. Announcements alone do not count until they are law. Independently of that, the whole parameter file is reviewed at least every 12 months. The last full check was on October 4, 2026, the date shown at the top of each page.

Ten calculators: net pay from gross, gross from a target net, employer cost, Christmas bonus, Easter bonus, leave allowance, severance pay, road tax (teli kykloforias), ENFIA property tax and a pension estimate. Every guide also carries a small calculator for its own topic. All of them share the same engine and the same 2026 parameters, so the figures agree from page to page.

As an estimate it helps, as evidence it does not. Binding figures come from your employer’s payroll, your e-EFKA record and the tax assessment issued by AADE, the Greek tax authority. Our result is useful to check a payslip, compare offers or prepare a negotiation. In a dispute over unpaid wages or a dismissal, the Labour Inspectorate or a lawyer is the right place; for tax questions, an accountant.

The site is published by Radif Partners, which produces free salary and tax calculators with a published method. It is not linked to AADE, e-EFKA, the Ministry of Labour or any other public body and does not speak for them. Every rate points to a law, a circular or an official announcement, listed under sources on each page, and the editorial policy explains how they are checked.

Email contact@ypologismos.com with the link to your calculation, which carries every option you chose, plus the figure you expected and where it comes from, for example your payslip with names and tax number removed. We check each report against the law. If you are right, we fix the engine, add your case to the automated tests and update the date on the pages concerned.
