How to calculate your income tax using the income tax scale
Published on February 18, 2025 at 11:50 AM on economie.gouv.fr
The income tax scale is a progressive tax system, which means that the higher your income, the higher the percentage of tax you pay. The scale is divided into five brackets, and the tax rate for each bracket is as follows:
- 0% for income up to €10,084
- 11% for income between €10,084 and €25,710
- 30% for income between €25,710 and €73,516
- 41% for income between €73,516 and €158,122
- 45% for income over €158,122
To calculate your income tax, you first need to determine your taxable income. This is your total income minus any allowable deductions and exemptions. Once you have your taxable income, you can use the income tax scale to calculate the amount of tax you owe.
For example, if your taxable income is €30,000, you would pay €3,300 in income tax. This is calculated as follows:
- €10,084 x 0% = €0
- €15,626 x 11% = €1,719
- €4,300 x 30% = €1,290
Total: €3,300
The income tax scale is updated each year, so it is important to check the latest rates before you calculate your tax. You can find the current income tax scale on the website of the French tax authorities.
Other important information:
- The income tax scale is only one of the factors that will affect your overall tax bill. Other factors include your marital status, the number of dependents you have, and whether or not you are eligible for any tax credits or deductions.
- You can use the online tax calculator on the website of the French tax authorities to estimate your tax bill.
- If you have any questions about your income tax bill, you can contact the French tax authorities by phone or email.
