A €5,000 raise doesn't add €5,000 to your take-home — tax and contributions take a share at your marginal rate. This calculator shows what a pay rise is actually worth, per month, after tax, so you can judge an offer on the number that lands in your account.
Enter your current salary and the gross raise for your country to see the real monthly difference and the percentage you keep.
