Moving to Italy? The impatriate regime changes everything
Most gross-to-net calculators show ordinary taxation only — and for anyone relocating to Italy, that picture is badly wrong. Italy's regime impatriati exempts 50% of your employment income from income tax for five years (60% if you move with a minor child), within €600,000/year. On a €60,000 salary that's roughly €13,000 more net per year — about €1,000 extra every month — and on higher salaries the gap widens further because the exemption bites into the 43% bracket first.
Eligibility, broadly: you move your tax residence to Italy having been resident abroad for at least the previous four years (longer in some intra-group transfer cases), you commit to staying at least four years, and you meet high-qualification or specialisation requirements. Social contributions are still paid on the full salary — the exemption is on income tax only. Always verify your case with the current rulesor a commercialista.
How the 2026 numbers work
INPS contributions (9.19%) come off first. IRPEF then applies at 23% up to €28,000, 33% to €50,000 (the 2026 Budget Law cut this bracket from 35%), and 43% above. Employee deductions (up to €1,955), the structural cuneo-fiscale relief (tax-free integration up to €20,000 of income; €1,000 extra deduction to €32,000, phasing out at €40,000) and local surcharges complete the picture.
Worked example: RAL €45,000, ordinary taxation, 2% local surcharges: INPS takes €4,136, IRPEF ≈€9,890 after deductions, surcharges ≈€817 — about €30,150 net, or ≈€2,320/month over 13 payments. The same person under the impatriate regime keeps roughly €9,200/year more.
Assumptions and honesty notes
- Private-sector employee, standard 9.19% INPS rate; the extra 1% above ~€55,448 and sector variations are not modeled.
- Local surcharges are set by you as one combined rate — regions and municipalities differ (1.23–4.2% combined range).
- Family deductions (dependent spouse/children) and fringe benefits are not modeled.
- The €1,200 trattamento integrativo is applied only in the clear-cut case (income ≤ €15,000 with sufficient gross tax).

Frequently asked questions
What is the regime impatriati (impatriate regime)?
Italy's tax incentive for people who move their tax residence to Italy: from 2024, 50% of employment income is exempt from income tax for 5 years (60% if you relocate with a minor child), up to €600,000/year. Broadly, you qualify if you were tax-resident abroad for at least the previous 4 years, commit to staying in Italy, and meet high-qualification requirements. Social contributions (INPS) are still due on the full salary.
What is RAL?
Retribuzione Annua Lorda — your gross annual salary as written in the contract, including the 13th (and sometimes 14th) month payments. Italian salaries are usually quoted as RAL, then paid out in 13 or 14 installments.
How is net salary calculated in Italy in 2026?
From RAL, subtract INPS social contributions (9.19% for most private-sector employees), then apply IRPEF on the remainder: 23% up to €28,000, 33% from €28,000 to €50,000 (cut from 35% by the 2026 Budget Law), 43% above. Work deductions, the structural cuneo fiscale relief and regional/municipal surcharges then adjust the result.
Why do different calculators give slightly different numbers?
Mostly local surcharges: each region (1.23–3.33%) and municipality (0–0.9%) sets its own rate, and tools assume different defaults. This calculator lets you set the combined rate yourself; family deductions and special allowances also vary case by case and are not included in our simplified model.
Is 60,000 euros a good salary in Italy?
A €60,000 RAL lands around €2,900 net/month over 13 payments under ordinary taxation — comfortably above the national median. Under the impatriate regime the same salary yields roughly €1,000 more per month, which is why relocators should always check their eligibility.
