🇭🇺 Hungary Net Salary Calculator 2025
Hungary operates one of the flattest tax systems in the EU: a 15% income tax (SZJA) on gross salary with no brackets, no personal allowance for a single earner, and no deductions from the tax base. Social contributions (TB-járulék) add 18.5%: 10% into the pension fund and 8.5% covering health and labour market. Total deductions for a typical employee run around 33.5% of gross. Hungary's simplicity is the point: the tax code was deliberately flattened to reduce complexity, and it remains one of the few genuinely single-rate systems in Europe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there any personal allowance in Hungary?
Not for single earners. The main tax benefit in Hungary is the family tax allowance (CSOK and Családi adókedvezmény), which can substantially reduce income tax for earners with children. This calculator shows the standard single-earner situation with no family benefits applied.
What does the 18.5% TB-járulék cover?
The social contribution breaks down into 10% pension (Nyugdíjjárulék), which funds the state pension, and 8.5% for health insurance plus the labour market fund (Egészségügyi és munkaerő-piaci járulék). Your employer also pays szociális hozzájárulási adó (13% employer payroll tax) on top, but that doesn't come from your pay.
Do Hungarian SS contributions reduce income tax?
No. The 18.5% social contribution is paid on full gross salary and is not deductible from the SZJA tax base. Income tax is 15% of the same gross salary. There's no step-down, no deductibility, and the marginal rate on each extra forint of income is always 33.5% for the standard employee.
