Gross ↔ net salary calculator
Calculate salary both ways — gross to net or desired take-home pay to gross.
2026 calculation parameters
The calculator is intended for a standard employee in Latvia who has not reached retirement age. It uses an employee social contribution rate of 10.5%, income tax rate of 25.5%, a monthly non-taxable minimum of €550 and an allowance of €250 per month for each dependant when the tax book is submitted to the employer.
The result is indicative. Actual pay may differ for special employment, pension, disability or other tax regimes.
How to use the salary calculator
Enter your gross salary and the other requested details to estimate your net pay after taxes. Gross salary is the amount before taxes; net salary is the amount left for payment after applicable taxes and allowances.
What affects net salary?
The result may depend on tax allowances, the non-taxable minimum and individual circumstances. Use the result for planning and comparison; an actual payslip may differ.
How is salary calculated when you have two jobs?
If you work for two employers, the tax book can be submitted to only one workplace. The non-taxable minimum and dependant allowances can be applied there, while the second workplace calculates salary without these allowances. Choose “2 workplaces”, enter both gross salaries and select where the tax book is submitted — the calculator will show net pay for each job and the combined take-home pay.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between gross and net salary?

Salary calculator for employers
An employer’s cost is more than the contractual gross salary. In the standard case, the employer additionally pays the employer VSAOI share of 23.59% and the business risk state fee of €0.36 per employee per month. Choose “Employer”, enter the gross salary, and the calculator will show employer VSAOI, the fee and the total monthly employment cost. It also shows the employee’s estimated take-home pay.
