Your Salary vs. Spanish Wages

The following chart outlines your before-tax earnings relative to the national average salary and minimum wage in Spain. These benchmark figures assume full-time employment for the entire year, while your salary is calculated based on the settings you selected.

Average Salary in Spain

The average monthly gross salary in Spain is around €2,386, according to the latest report from the Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE). This figure includes both full-time and part-time employees and amounts to an average annual salary of €28,627 before tax (assuming 12 payments per year). It corresponds to a take-home pay of approximately €1,880 per month, as estimated by our salary calculator.

Minimum Wage in Spain

The minimum wage (salario mínimo interprofesional, SMI) in Spain is established by Royal Decree, and in 2026 it is set at €17,094 per year before tax for the majority of workers. This converts to a monthly net income of around €1,268.

Two exceptions are highlighted in the Royal Decree concerning the Spanish minimum wage. Domestic workers, who are usually paid by the hour, must be paid an hourly rate of at least €9.55. Contingent and temporary workers, defined as anyone with an employment contract of less than 120 days per year, enjoy a minimum pay of €57.82 per day before tax.

Taxes Included in This Salary Calculator

• Income Tax (Impuesto sobre la Renta) is a progressive tax, ranging from 13% to 53%, depending on the autonomous community. The standard personal allowance is €5,550 for individuals under 65 years old, who are not married and have no dependents. Spain uses a pay-as-you-earn tax system, where the employer withholds the employee's taxes and contributions from the gross pay, transferring the payment directly to the tax authorities on a monthly basis.
• Beckham Law (art. 93 Ley IRPF) is a special tax regime that allows eligible foreign workers to pay a flat 24% income tax on up to €600,000 of Spanish-source earnings per year for up to six years. To qualify, you must not have been a Spanish tax resident in the last five years, and you must apply within six months of arrival in the country. You can enable it in the "More Options" section in the calculator.
• Social Security Contributions (Contribuciones a la Seguridad Social) are paid partly by the employee and partly by the employer. The standard rate for the employee is 6.35%, while the employer pays at least 29.90% of an employee's salary, depending on the occupation. Social security contributions in Spain have a minimum and maximum cap determined by the employee's level of studies. To give a good indication on the lowest take-home pay an employee can expect, our calculator assumes the highest minimum and maximum caps.
