Frequently asked questions
What is taxable income (zvE)?
zvE is not the same as gross pay. It results after deductions in the tax return. This calculator deliberately starts from zvE.
When do I use the splitting tariff?
Typically for joint assessment of spouses/partners. The calculator applies the half-and-double method.
How accurate is the result?
It approximately follows the 2026 basic tariff. Special expenses, progression proviso and many allowances are missing — use the BMF calculator or tax advice for binding figures.
Is soli always included?
Soli is roughly estimated here (exemption threshold simplified). In many cases no soli applies.
Note: Simplified tariff income-tax estimate. Not tax advice and not a substitute for the official BMF calculator.
