How Estonia taxes a salary

  1. Unemployment Insurance Employee share. The employer pays a further 0.8% on top of gross, which does not reduce employee net pay.
  2. Funded Pension (II pillar) Default rate for those enrolled in the second pillar. Since 2025 an employee may elect 4% or 6% instead, and those who never joined pay nothing. Modelled at the 2% default.
  3. Basic Exemption 700 euros per month. From 2026 this is a flat amount for everyone regardless of income, replacing the income-dependent tax hump that phased it out above 2,100 euros per month. Applied by the employer on written application, and only by one employer where a person has several.
  4. Income Tax Flat rate. The legislated increase to 24% was reversed by the December 2025 amendments and the rate stays at 22%.
