Frequently asked questions
What is the taxable base for 3,000 EUR x 14 in Austria?
Social insurance of 7,589.40 leaves a taxable base of about 34,411 EUR before the progressive Lohnsteuer scale.
Why 14 salary payments?
Austria pays a 13th and 14th salary (holiday and Christmas), taxed at a favourable flat rate.
What is the SV ceiling?
Social insurance is only charged up to a monthly maximum (6,450 EUR in 2025), so high earners pay a lower effective rate.
