Average Salary in Malta

Based on the latest Labour Force Survey from Malta's National Statistics Office, the average annual gross salary in the country is €25,584, or €2,132 per month, excluding bonuses and extra compensation.

Of course, this number will vary depending on factors such as industry, job role, and years of experience. The financial and insurance sector boasts the highest average salary, standing at €2,847 per month before taxes, while the average worker in the construction sector earns a monthly gross salary of €1,799.

Minimum Wage in Malta

The national minimum wage in Malta in 2026 is €229.44 per week for full-time employees aged 18 years or older. If we extrapolate this figure to an entire year, we get a minimum annual salary of €11,931 before tax (€994 per month), which corresponds to a monthly take-home pay of €895.

Taxes Included in This Take-Home Pay Calculator

• Income Tax: The Maltese government applies a progressive income tax system, with rates from 0% to 35%. There are four income brackets which vary depending on the taxpayer's family situation.
• National Insurance: In Malta, National Insurance refers to the portion of an individual's salary that is withheld to support a range of social security benefits, including healthcare, pensions, and unemployment benefits. Both employees and employers contribute 10% of the employee's gross salary towards Social Security.
• Government Bonuses: Employers in Malta pay two types of bonuses to employees, namely the Statutory Bonus and the Weekly Allowance. The Statutory Bonus is paid bi-annually in June and December, while the Weekly Allowance is paid twice a year in March and September. All registered employees, including part-timers who work full-time elsewhere, are entitled to them.

Students enrolled in a full-time course of studies or instruction under the Student-Worker Scheme or other similar schemes are eligible for a reduction in National Insurance. While the rate remains at 10%, a student's social security contributions are capped at €7.94 per week, or €413 per year.
