Yes for assurance vieillesse and retraite complémentaire AGIRC-ARRCO, both are included in the 38 316 € net figure above. It doesn't include a mutuelle d'entreprise contribution, since the premium and employer/employee split vary by employer rather than following a single national rate, so your actual net-to-bank figure at 55 000 € will run somewhat lower once your specific mutuelle premium is subtracted.
France take-home figures use the 2026 barème progressif (revenus 2025, per the Loi de finances pour 2026), the 10% abattement forfaitaire, the single-filer décote, 2026 CSG/CRDS rates, assurance vieillesse, and retraite complémentaire AGIRC-ARRCO (verified via published DGFiP, Service-Public.gouv.fr, URSSAF, and LégiSocial sources, September 2026). Single filer (1 part). Excludes mutuelle (employer-specific, no national rate), the quotient familial, and auto-entrepreneur status. Always confirm with the DGFiP or a tax professional for your exact position.
