Hungarian net-pay calculator
Estimate net pay (gross→net) in Hungary: the TB contribution and income tax (SZJA) are withheld from gross pay, accounting for the family allowance and the under-25 exemption, while the total employer cost also includes szocho. The result is an estimate based on the rates in force for 2026.
- Net, contributions and income tax – broken down
- No registration and no hidden costs
- In Hungarian and English
Quick calculation
Enter your monthly gross pay and choose the number of beneficiary dependants and the under-25 status – the calculator instantly shows the take-home net, the TB contribution withheld, the income tax (SZJA) after the family allowance, plus the total employer cost (with szocho). The result is an estimate, not a basis for an official decision.

The social-contribution tax (szocho, 65 000 Ft) is borne by the employer and is NOT deducted from the employee’s net – it appears only in the total employer cost.
If you are employed in Hungary on a regular contract, the employer withholds the TB contribution and personal income tax (SZJA) from the gross pay before the money reaches your account. Your payslip shows only the net figure at the end.
That is why the gross figure in the contract says little about what actually remains. This gross-to-net calculator makes the arithmetic visible: it breaks the path from gross to net down step by step, and it also shows what the same pay costs the employer, together with the social-contribution tax (szocho).
The result is an estimate based on the rates in force for 2026, not a basis for an official or tax decision. It shows how a Hungarian payslip is built up – the actual deduction is made by your employer on the payslip.

How the monthly deduction works
The TB contribution comes off the gross first as a single consolidated rate; income tax (SZJA) then applies to the consolidated tax base, after the allowances are subtracted. The employee’s deductions are not a single amount but a set of components:
- TB contribution – a single consolidated, mandatory social-security contribution from the employee’s gross pay, with no ceiling.
- Family allowance – a per-child (per beneficiary dependant) reduction of the SZJA base whose amount rises with the number of dependants.
- Under-25 exemption – pay of workers under 25 is exempt from the SZJA base up to a monthly cap.
- Income tax (SZJA) – a single flat rate applied to the consolidated tax base left after the allowances.
Your TB contribution is around 18,5% of the gross, and income tax is a single flat rate of 15% applied to the remaining tax base.
The family allowance is what makes the difference at low and mid pay: it reduces the SZJA base per child, and where it exceeds the tax base, the remainder can be taken as a family contribution credit off the TB contribution.
The social-contribution tax (szocho) is borne by the employer and is not deducted from your net – the calculator shows it separately, as part of the total employer cost.
What the gross pay really costs the employer
The gross pay is not the end of the sum – it is the base the employer adds its own charge on top of. On top of your gross, the employer bears the social-contribution tax (szocho).
This extra employer cost is around 13% of the gross. For a gross at the average of 764 100 Ft, that means a total cost of around 863 433 Ft a month. The calculator shows this employer cost as its own line, not as part of your net.
Fringe benefits and special cases follow different rules and are out of the standard calculation – the calculator treats them as out of scope.

Why net-to-net comparison matters
Pay comparisons only make sense when you set net against net – not gross against gross, and certainly not a Hungarian gross against a net from another country.
The calculator on this page shows a regular month in employment. Special situations follow their own rules and are handled separately.
That first, honest number – the take-home net and the total employer cost – is exactly what the calculator gives you, as a starting point for any comparison.
