Frequently Asked Questions
What is the nezdaniteľná časť (personal allowance)?
The nezdaniteľná časť základu dane is a non-taxable portion of income: 21× the living minimum, adjusted annually. For 2025 it's approximately €5,647. It reduces the income tax base directly. The allowance phases out for very high earners (above roughly €40,000 in taxable income it starts to reduce).
Are Slovak social contributions deductible from income tax?
Yes. All five employee social insurance contributions (sick leave 1.4%, old age 4%, disability 3%, unemployment 1%, total 9.4%) and health insurance (4%) are deductible from the income tax base. Tax is then calculated on (gross − SS − personal allowance).
How does Slovakia's top rate compare to neighbours?
Slovakia's 25% top rate applies above roughly €47,539, lower than Czech Republic's 23% threshold of CZK 2.1M and much lower than Austria's top rates. Czech Republic also has a lower starting rate (15% vs 19%), making it more competitive at lower incomes. For high earners, Poland (12%/32%) and Czech Republic (15%/23%) are generally more favourable.
