What's different about Madrid
Madrid applies the lowest regional IRPF in Spain, so real take-home here is a little higher than the national approximation shown.
Average gross pay in Madrid is around 35.000 €, above the national figure of about 30.000 € — which shapes what a given salary feels like locally as much as the tax does.
Spain's lowest regional tax plus moderate (if rising) rents. A one-bedroom flat in Madrid averages about 1300 € a month — weigh that against the take-home above.
