How nettó bér in Hungary is calculated

Hungary runs one of Europe's simplest payroll systems: a flat 15% personal income tax (SZJA) and a flat 18.5% social contribution (TB), both on gross, so net is a clean 66.5% of gross for a standard case.

Under-25s are exempt from income tax up to the average-wage cap, and various family and mother exemptions further reduce or remove the tax. The under-25 toggle applies the youth exemption. Estimate, not tax advice.

Frequently asked questions

What is the net pay for 600,000 HUF gross in Hungary?

On 600,000 HUF, 15% SZJA is 90,000 and 18.5% TB is 111,000, leaving 399,000 HUF net. Under 25, the SZJA drops and net rises to 489,000.

Who is exempt from income tax in Hungary?

Workers under 25 (up to a cap), mothers of several children and some other groups pay no personal income tax, keeping more of their gross.

Why is net exactly 66.5% of gross?

Because both the 15% tax and the 18.5% contribution are flat on gross with no allowance in the standard case, net = gross x (1 - 0.15 - 0.185).
