Progressive income tax with social security contributions based on gross wages. 14th and 15th month salaries are taxed at a lower rate than regular monthly income.
On a gross salary of €50,000 in Austria, the deductions are Social Contributions (SV) €8,810 and Income Tax (Lohnsteuer) €12,059. Together they come to €20,869, or 41.7% of gross pay, which leaves €29,131 a year — about €2,428 a month, €560 a week, or €14 an hour across a standard 2,080-hour year.
Two different rates matter here, and they are easy to confuse. The effective rate of 41.7% is the average cost of every unit of pay across the whole salary. The marginal rate is what the next slice of pay is charged at — around 58.6% on the next €1,000 of gross. The marginal rate is the higher of the two, because the lower bands have already been taxed at less. It is the marginal rate, not the effective rate, that decides what a pay rise is actually worth.
