🇫🇮 Vero Tax Calculator 2026
Finnish Income Tax & Withholding Calculator (Verolaskuri)
📊 Understanding Finnish Vero Tax
The Vero tax calculator 2026 helps residents and employees in Finland estimate their total tax burden including all components of the Finnish tax system. Finland uses a progressive income tax with multiple layers: valtionvero (state tax), kunnallisvero (municipal tax ranging from 17.25% to 23.50%), kirkollisvero (church tax for members), and pakollinen sosiaalivakuutus (mandatory social insurance contributions). Whether you're a Finnish citizen, EU worker, or international professional in Finland, understanding your net salary (nettopalkka) is essential for budgeting and financial planning. This calculator provides accurate 2026 estimates using official Vero.fi tax brackets to help you plan your finances, compare job offers, or prepare for your tax return.

📐 Vero Tax Formula & Calculation Method
Total Finnish Tax Formula
Total tax includes progressive state tax, flat municipal tax, optional church tax, and mandatory social insurance contributions (pension, unemployment, health).
State Income Tax (Valtionvero)
Finland uses progressive state tax brackets from 0% (under €20,500) to 31.64% (over €88,200). Each bracket has a base tax plus a marginal rate applied to income above the floor.
Net Income Calculation
Your net income (nettotulot) equals gross income (bruttotulot) minus deductions (vähennykset) and total taxes. The calculator applies standard deductions automatically.

💡 Important Tips for Finnish Taxes
- Verokortti: Order your tax card online at vero.fi using online banking (verkkopankki) or mobile ID. Update it if your income changes significantly mid-year.
- Municipality Matters: Moving to a lower-tax municipality like Helsinki (17.25%) vs. a 23% municipality can save thousands of euros annually!
- Commuting Deduction: Claim matkakuluvähennys for travel between home and work. Use the cheapest public transport option as the basis, even if you drive.
- Church Tax: Leaving the church (eroakirkosta.fi) saves 1-2% of taxable income. Consider carefully based on your beliefs and the services you use.
- Pre-filled Tax Return: Check your esitäytetty veroilmoitus carefully! Vero.fi pre-fills most information, but you must add deductions and verify accuracy.
- Deadline: Personal tax returns are typically due in April-May. Submit corrections online through OmaVero.
