work salary - 1000euros, how much will i get after taxes? by jonathan1313
Hello :cheers: iam thinking about taking a jobb offer i got in Romania. The salary is 1000 euros gross per month. How much will i get in my pay check after taxes based on that salary?
So on what i read, it's 16% income tax, plus Social Security 10.5%, Health Fund 5.5%, Unemployment Fund .5%. So that is 32.5% tax. If you are earning 1000 Euro your tax is 325 Euro. That leaves your with 675 NET income. Read More
