Before living costs. Assumes you’re resident in Portugal for tax all year, single, with no children or other income. Taxable income is your salary less the 2026 specific deduction for employment income (€4,587), or your social security if that’s higher. It doesn’t apply the minimum-income protection (mínimo de existência), so it overstates tax on low salaries (roughly under €15,000–20,000 a year). Doesn’t include IRS Jovem (the relief for younger workers), the IFICI regime for people moving to Portugal (sometimes called “NHR 2.0”) or allowances for dependants. Portuguese salaries are often paid in 14 instalments, and the yearly total is the same. UK figures use 2026/27 rates for England. €1.18 to £1.Read: Is my Portuguese job offer a good one?
