Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about calculations, rules, and practices.

Because Finnish personal income tax is progressive, a portion of every raise is absorbed by municipal tax, state tax, and statutory social insurance contributions (TyEL 7.30 % and unemployment insurance 0.89 %). For average earners (3,000–4,500 €/mo), the marginal tax rate is typically 44–50 %, meaning you keep approx. 50–56 € from a 100 € monthly raise.
