Frequently asked questions
What is the income tax rate in Slovakia?
Slovakia uses a progressive tax system with four income tax brackets ranging from 19% to 35%. The basic rate of 19% applies to income up to EUR 42,496.80, then it increases to 25%, 30%, and finally 35% for income above EUR 73,497.60. You also get a personal non-taxable allowance of EUR 5,966.73, which gradually reduces as your income increases.
How much do I pay in social security and health insurance contributions in Slovakia?
As an employee in Slovakia, you contribute 9.4% of your gross income to social security (capped at EUR 18,888 annually) and 5% to health insurance with no cap. These contributions are deductible from your taxable income, which helps reduce your overall tax burden.
Will my personal allowance reduce my taxes if I earn a high salary?
Your personal allowance of EUR 5,966.73 is valuable for lower earners, but it phases out as your income rises. Between EUR 26,367.26 and EUR 50,234.18 in gross income, your allowance gradually decreases at a rate of 6% per euro earned above the threshold, eventually reaching zero at the upper limit.
What happens if I earn over EUR 73,497.60 per year?
Once your income exceeds EUR 73,497.60, you are taxed at the top marginal rate of 35% on all income above that threshold. This is Slovakia's highest tax bracket, and combined with your social security and health insurance contributions, your total tax and deduction burden will be significant at higher income levels.
Are there different tax rates for different regions in Slovakia?
No, Slovakia does not have regional or state-level income taxes. The tax rates and thresholds shown apply equally across the entire country, so your location within Slovakia will not affect your income tax calculation.
