The rules behind the numbers.
14 salaries, not 12
Most Austrian employment contracts include holiday pay in June and Christmas pay in November. A quoted annual salary usually already includes both.
The 6% privilege
Within the annual sixth (Jahressechstel), the 13th and 14th salaries are taxed at 6% after a EUR 620 allowance — dramatically lower than your marginal rate.
Social security is capped
Employee ASVG contributions of 18.07% apply only up to the monthly ceiling. Above that ceiling your marginal deduction falls sharply.
Progressive income tax
Rates run from 0% up to EUR 13,308 of annual taxable income to 55% above EUR 1m, with the Verkehrsabsetzbetrag credited against the result.
