Calculations use 2026 Estonian income tax (flat 22%), the universal €8,400/year basic exemption, and unemployment insurance figures. Models employee-side deductions only — social tax (33%) is paid by your employer on top of gross salary and is shown separately, not subtracted from your take-home. The funded pension (II pillar) contribution is voluntary; select 0% if you have opted out. Does not model pensionable-age residents (higher basic exemption) or non-employment income. For precise figures, consult the Estonian Tax and Customs Board (EMTA) or a tax professional.
