What are the current IRPEF tax brackets in Italy?

As of 2024, Italy uses three brackets: 23% on income up to €28,000; 35% on income from €28,001 to €50,000; and 43% on income above €50,000. The 2024 reform merged the former 23% and 25% bands into a single 23% bracket up to €28,000. This calculator reflects the current three-bracket structure.

Does this include regional and municipal surtaxes?

No. Italy also levies regional surtaxes (addizionale regionale, typically 1.23%–3.33%) and municipal surtaxes (addizionale comunale, up to 0.9%) on top of IRPEF. These vary by region and municipality and are not included here. Your actual total tax will be higher.

Are social security (INPS) contributions included?

No. Employees also pay INPS social security contributions (roughly 9.19% of gross pay up to a ceiling) which are deducted from gross salary before receiving net pay. This calculator estimates IRPEF only and does not model INPS deductions.

What about personal deductions and tax credits?

Italy grants detrazioni (non-refundable tax credits) for employment income, family dependants, and certain expenses. These reduce the final IRPEF due and are not modeled here. The result is the gross IRPEF before credits, so your actual tax bill will generally be lower.

Does this cover the flat-tax regime for self-employed workers (regime forfettario)?

No. The regime forfettario is a separate flat-tax system with a 15% (or 5% for new businesses) rate on a reduced taxable base. This calculator applies standard IRPEF brackets only, which apply to employees and most other income categories.

How accurate is this estimate?

The calculation is based on the official IRPEF bracket rates. However, it omits deductions, tax credits, regional/municipal surtaxes, and INPS contributions. Use it as a quick planning guide — consult a commercialista (Italian tax professional) for a precise figure.

Summary

This calculator estimates the Italian IRPEF (Imposta sul Reddito delle Persone Fisiche) — the personal income tax paid by Italian residents on their gross annual income. It applies the current three official tax brackets ranging from 23% on income up to €28,000 to 43% on income above €50,000. Enter your gross annual or monthly income and the tool instantly shows the tax due per bracket, your effective tax rate, and your estimated net take-home pay. Regional and municipal surtaxes (addizionali), social security contributions, and special deductions are not included, so treat the result as a planning estimate rather than a precise tax return figure.
