Net to gross pay calculator
The net to gross calculator builds pay from a flat tax, optional social charges, and a fixed other deduction. From 5000 gross at 25% tax you keep 3750. The other way, 4000 net at the same 25% needs 5333.33 gross.
A flat percent wedge, not payroll law. 5000 and 25% leave 3750. Invoice tax is on the VAT calculator.
Result
Direction, Amount, Tax rate (%) and Social contributions (%). The result shows up here.
How results are calculated
Net to gross on this page is a pay sketch from three numbers: a tax rate in percent, optional social charges in percent, and a fixed other deduction. You pick a direction, type an amount, and set a rate. Gross minus gross times the percent sum minus other is net. The other way, the calculator solves gross = (net + other) ÷ (1 − percent sum / 100).
The first card uses 5000 gross and 25% tax and leaves 3750 net, because 1250 comes off as tax alone. At 8000, 20% tax, and 10% social charges the wedge is 30%, so 2400 comes off and 5600 remains. From 4000 net at 25% alone you divide by 0.75 and need 5333.33 gross.
Direction is a list: Gross → Net or Net → Gross. Amount is that one paycheck. Tax rate (%) is required. Social contributions (%) and Other deductions sit under extra fields; blank means zero, not a guessed statutory charge. Click Calculate and read net, gross, tax, and any social or other slice.
Invoice VAT lives on the VAT calculator. There 1000 net at 23% is 230 tax. A two-bracket yearly scale, with a 120,000 threshold, is on the income tax page. This calculator does not know brackets or reliefs.
A flat percent of gross that you type yourself. There are no statutory social charges and no computed income-tax advance. You typed 25%, you get 25% of gross. For an employment contract use a full payroll tool or an accountant.
Type 5000, 25, and gross to net. Check 3750. Then try 4000 net and the same 25% to see 5333.33.
How to use the calculator
- In Direction, choose Gross → Net when you know pay before deductions, or Net → Gross when you know take-home.
- In Amount, type that paycheck. Tax rate (%) is a flat percent, for example 25.
- Social contributions (%) and Other deductions are optional, under the extra fields. Blank means zero.
- Click Calculate. At 5000 and 25%, net should be 3750. At 8000, 20, and 10 you keep 5600.
- Read the tax, social, and other cards. For invoice VAT, open the sibling page.
Flat net and gross pay, not invoice VAT
One percent wedge, optional social, and a fixed other line. 5000 gross at 25% leaves 3750. 4000 net at the same 25% needs 5333.33 gross.
- Gross
- Pay before the wedge. 5000 at 25% leaves 3750. 8000 at 20% tax and 10% social leaves 5600.
- Net
- Pay after the wedge. 4000 net at 25% inverts to 4000 / 0.75 = 5333.33 gross.
- Tax
- The Tax rate (%) field, one flat percent. 25 off 5000 removes 1250. Social adds to the same wedge.
