What this does and does not include

This compares take-home pay only — income tax and compulsory social contributions, nothing else. It does not adjust for rent, childcare, healthcare or schooling, and those differences are often larger than the tax ones. A salary that looks better in New York City can still leave you worse off once housing is paid for.

The exchange rate is the European Central Bank reference rate for 2026-09-04. Rates move; the tax arithmetic does not.
