Albania Income Tax Brackets (2025)

Personal allowance: ALL 360,000

How much income tax will I pay in Albania?

Albania uses a progressive tax system with two brackets: 13% on employment income up to ALL 2,040,000 per year, and 23% on income above that threshold. You'll also pay employee social and health contributions of 11.2% (9.5% for social insurance and 1.7% for health insurance), which are deducted from your gross income before calculating income tax.

What is the personal allowance in Albania and how does it work?

Albania provides a personal yearly allowance of ALL 360,000, which reduces your taxable income. This allowance is applied to income above ALL 720,000, so if you earn less than that amount, you won't benefit from it. The allowance helps lower-income earners pay less tax overall.

Do I need to pay employer contributions if I work in Albania?

No, employer contributions are not included in the tax calculation for net salary purposes. As an employee, you're responsible for the 11.2% employee social and health contributions, but your employer's contributions are handled separately and don't affect your take-home pay calculation.

What's the difference between the two tax brackets in Albania?

Albania has a two-tier progressive tax system designed to tax higher earners at a higher rate. The first ALL 2,040,000 of your annual employment income is taxed at 13%, while any income you earn above that amount is taxed at 23%. This means your overall tax rate increases gradually as you earn more.

Are education and child allowances included in this tax calculator?

No, the calculator focuses on employment income tax only and doesn't include education or child allowances, as these require specific family composition details that vary by individual. If you have dependents, you may qualify for additional tax relief, so it's worth checking with the Albanian tax authorities for your specific situation.
