How It Works

This calculator estimates your disposable income based on your gross salary and selected currency. It uses the latest OECD data to calculate taxes, cost to the employer, and social security contributions for various countries.

Data pertains to a single individual with no children. The calculator assumes that you are a tax resident in the selected country and that you are employed full-time. It does not account for additional deductions or tax credits.

Key Features:

1. Utilizes the latest available OECD tax and social security data
2. Accounts for country-specific tax brackets and rates
3. Considers both employee and employer social security contributions
4. Provides PPP-adjusted income for cross-country comparisons
5. Updates exchange rates daily from the European Central Bank

Purchasing Power Parity (PPP)

Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) is a way of comparing the purchasing power of different currencies and living standards between countries. It's calculated by comparing the cost of a standard "basket" of goods and services in different countries.

Here's how it works:

1. We start with your after-tax income in the local currency.
2. We then convert this to USD using PPP exchange rates, not market exchange rates.
3. The resulting PPP-adjusted income represents how much your income would be worth if you were living in the United States, considering the relative cost of living.

For example, if your PPP-adjusted income is $50,000, it means your purchasing power is equivalent to someone earning $50,000 in the United States, regardless of your actual location or currency.
