The table below shows how your monthly take-home pay varies across different regions of Spain (autonomous communities) based on the gross salary you entered. Your selected region is highlighted for easier comparison.

The following chart outlines your earnings relative to the national average salary and minimum wage in Spain.

Please note that the national figures assume full-time employment for the entire year, while your salary is calculated according to the settings you selected.

The average monthly gross salary in Spain is around €1,823, according to the most recent report on salaries compiled by The Adecco Group. This works out to an average annual salary of €21,876 before taxes, which translates to a take-home pay of approximately €1,486 per month, as estimated by our salary calculator.

The minimum wage (salario mínimo) in Spain is established by Royal Decree, and in 2024 it is set at €15,120 per year before tax for the majority of workers. This converts to a monthly net income of around €1,035.

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 €8.45. Contingent and temporary workers, defined as anyone with an employment contract of less than 120 days per year, enjoy a minimum pay of €51.15 per day before tax.

• 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.
• 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. In order to give a good indication on the lowest take-home pay an employee can expect, our calculator assumes the highest minimum and maximum caps.
