How tax works in France
Europe · EUR
France pairs a five-band income tax (impôt sur le revenu) with substantial employee social contributions — roughly 22% covering pension, health, unemployment, and CSG/CRDS. Family quotient adjustments significantly reduce taxes for households with children. Employer contributions on top of gross are even larger but invisible to the employee.
On a gross of 30 000 € per year, expect roughly 21 342 € net — about 71% of gross lands in your bank account.
