How to Calculate Your Income Tax Using the Income Tax Scale
The French tax administration has published an article on its website explaining how to calculate your income tax using the income tax scale. The income tax scale is a table that shows the amount of tax you owe based on your taxable income. The taxable income is your total income minus certain deductions and exemptions.
To calculate your income tax, you first need to determine your taxable income. This is done by subtracting the following from your total income:
- Social security contributions
- Health insurance premiums
- Retirement contributions
- Certain other deductions and exemptions
Once you have determined your taxable income, you can use the income tax scale to find the amount of tax you owe. The income tax scale is divided into several tax brackets, and the tax rate increases as the taxable income increases.
The following is the income tax scale for 2024:
| Taxable Income | Tax Rate | |—|—| | Up to €10,777 | 0% | | €10,778 to €27,478 | 11% | | €27,479 to €73,779 | 30% | | €73,780 to €158,122 | 41% | | Over €158,122 | 45% |
For example, if your taxable income is €25,000, your income tax would be calculated as follows:
- €10,777 x 0% = €0
- €14,223 x 11% = €1,564
Your total income tax would be €1,564.
The income tax scale is just one of the factors that will affect your overall tax bill. Other factors include your family situation, your tax deductions, and your tax credits.
