Frequently asked questions
How is take-home pay calculated in 2026?
From the gross salary you subtract the employee's social contributions (VSAOI) of 10.5%, then — if the payroll tax book has been submitted — the non-taxable minimum of €550 and reliefs (€250 per dependant, etc.). Personal income tax is withheld from the remainder: 25.5% up to €8,775 a month and 33% above that. What is left is the net take-home salary.
What does the payroll tax book change?
The non-taxable minimum and reliefs are applied only where the tax book has been submitted. Without it, tax is withheld from the whole amount after social contributions — the overpayment can be reclaimed by filing the annual income declaration.
What does the employee cost the employer in total?
Gross salary + the employer's social contributions (VSAOI) of 23.59% + the €0.36 business-risk fee. At €1,500 gross that is about €1,854 a month.
This calculator is for information only and does not replace tax advice — the final figure is set by the State Revenue Service (VID) in its assessment. The rates are computed by the same engine used in Vadi accounting, and each value is verified against official sources (VID, likumi.lv). If you spot an inaccuracy, write to us.
