Question 1

How does the country selector work?

Accepted Answer

Choosing a country loads its national progressive income tax brackets and switches to the local currency. For countries marked with a star, verified social insurance and local tax are also applied to estimate take-home pay.

Question 2

Which countries include social insurance and local tax?

Accepted Answer

South Korea (2026 four-major-insurances and 10% local income tax) and Japan (employee social insurance, 2.1% reconstruction surtax and 10% resident tax) are fully modelled. Other countries show national income tax only.

Question 3

Is this an exact payroll figure?

Accepted Answer

No. It is an estimate that excludes personal and family deductions, tax credits, and prefectural or regional variation. Verify with an official source before relying on it.
