A free international tax calculator built because the alternatives just weren't good enough
Hi, I'm Daniel, a UK-based developer and the creator of CountryTaxCalc.
In 2026, I found myself trying to compare take-home pay across different countries. Whether you're considering a job abroad, thinking about relocating, or just curious how your salary would stack up in another country - I discovered there wasn't a single tool that did this well.
The options I found were either outdated, only covered one country, required registration, or buried the actual numbers behind paywalls. I just wanted to enter a salary and see a clear comparison across multiple countries. Simple, right?
So I built CountryTaxCalc - the tool I wished existed. It's free, requires no sign-up, and gives you instant comparisons across 40+ countries with real 2026 tax rates.
The CountryTaxCalc Research Team consists of tax data analysts and developers dedicated to maintaining accurate tax calculations across 40+ countries.
Our team's responsibilities include:
Important: We are not tax professionals or certified accountants. We build tools that help you understand tax systems, but we do not provide personalized tax advice. Always consult a qualified tax advisor for your specific situation.
No hidden fees, no premium tiers, no "sign up to see results." The full calculator is completely free.
Your data stays on your device. No accounts, no email harvesting, no tracking your income.
Tax rates change. Our data is updated for 2026 and we monitor official sources for changes.
We explain exactly how calculations work and cite our data sources. No black boxes.
CountryTaxCalc uses official government sources for all tax calculations. This includes:

CountryTaxCalc provides estimates for informational purposes only. Tax situations are complex and depend on individual circumstances including residency status, deductions, tax treaties, and more.
Our calculations use standard assumptions and may not reflect your actual tax liability. Always consult a qualified tax professional before making financial decisions based on these estimates.
I'd love to hear from you - whether it's a bug report, feature request, or just to say hello.
