Transparent & sourced

Methodology & Sources

Every Saldora figure is computed from published statutory rules โ€” not a flat guess. Here is exactly which tax year we model, when the rules take effect, and the authoritative sources behind each country.

Tax year 2026

Rules effective as of 2026-01-01.

12 countries, each modelled

Income tax, social security, employer cost and special regimes.

Figures reflect statutory 2026 rules effective as of 2026-01-01. Results are estimates for typical cases and may differ from an individual's exact position (reliefs, regional variations, personal circumstances). Not tax advice.
