Wage-Tax Table 2026 Austria
The 2026 wage-tax table shows, for each salary level, how much income tax and social insurance are deducted from the monthly gross salary and what remains net. All values are computed to the cent from the 2026 income-tax tariff and current social-insurance rates, based on BMF and ASVG.
Income-tax tariff 2026: the brackets
Each marginal rate applies only to the income portion within that bracket (taxable annual income). *The third column translates the bracket into a monthly gross salary: from this regular salary onward the rate applies in the standard case (after social insurance and the standard expense allowance, assumptions below).

Wage-tax table 2026: gross, tax and net per month
Monthly values of the regular salary for the standard case (salaried, Vienna, no children, details below). Commuter tax credit already applied. For your personal situation: gross-to-net calculator
Above the contribution ceiling of € 6.930 per month no additional social insurance applies, so net pay rises faster per additional euro.
Understanding the tariff
This page shows the application. How the tariff works and evolves is covered in depth in the glossary entry:
- Brackets compared across years , how the thresholds moved year over year.
- Inflation adjustment , why the brackets rise automatically each year (end of bracket creep).
- Rate changes and background , recent rate cuts and the time-limited top rate.
Assumptions and method
- Standard case: salaried employee in Vienna, no children, no commuter allowance, no benefits in kind, 13th and 14th salary agreed. The table shows the regular monthly payment.
- Social insurance per the current contribution rates , capped at the contribution ceiling (€ 6.930/month).
- Income tax per the 2026 tariff (§ 33 EStG) including the commuter tax credit (€ 496/year). Family bonus, single-earner credits and commuter allowance would reduce the tax further.
- All values are produced by the same calculation engine as the gross-to-net calculator, from primary-sourced rule values (BMF, ASVG). No rounded approximations.
Does the table apply to the 13th/14th salary?
No. The 13th and 14th salary (holiday and Christmas pay) are not taxed per this table but preferentially under § 67 EStG: after an allowance of € 620, a flat 6 % applies within the annual sixth. That is why more of the holiday pay remains net than of a regular monthly salary. Details: special payments in the glossary
