[OC] Belgian Taxes Annual gross/net

  1. As soon as you work one hour, they have to pay you 20.000.

    Government will tax you 6000 on that.

  2. I think you forgot the “tax free” part of €8.990

    In your calculation:

    20.000€ gross

    First 13.440 is taxed at 25% -> you pay 3.360

    Following 6.560 is taxed at 40% -> you pay 2.624

    Total €5984 of tax to be paid.

    ​

    However if you take into account the tax free part:

    €20.000 – €8.990 = €11.010

    €11.010 taxed at 25% -> €2.752,5

    €20.000 – €2.752,5 = €17.247,5

    Which is a big difference.

    And I suspect something else that is not quite correct.

    Example with 100K Gross. Not taking the “tax free” part into account: you pay 44.745 in tax.

    With the tax free part, you pay 40.250 in tax.
