Average Salary in Malta
Based on the latest
Labour Force Survey
from Malta's National Statistics Office, the average annual gross salary in the third quarter of 2024 was €21,888,
or €1,824 per month.
If we enter this figure into our salary calculator, we get a monthly after-tax salary of €1,501, resulting in an
effective tax rate of around 20%.
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 €2,408 per month before taxes,
while the average worker in the construction sector earns a monthly gross salary of €1,443.
Minimum Wage in Malta
The national minimum wage in Malta in 2025 is €221.78 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 €11,533 before tax
(€961 per month), which corresponds to a monthly take-home pay of around
€907.
Income Tax:
The Maltese government applies a progressive income tax system, with rates that vary from 0% to 35%.
In 2025, individuals with an income of up to €12,000 are not subject to income tax.
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.
It's important to note that 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%, this reduction effectively limits a student's social security contributions to €7.94
per week, or approximately €413 per year.
