The calculator applies Malta's three tax computation methods — Single, Married, and Parent — each with its own progressive bands, plus a widened 0% band if you have one or two-or-more qualifying children. It then applies standard Class 1 social security contributions (10% of gross wage, with a floor and a weekly cap) to estimate your net pay.

Class 1 social security depends on age, student status, and birth year, not just income. Standard adult employees pay 10% of gross weekly wage, with a floor of €22.94 for lower earners and a cap of €54.43 for higher earners; the cap is €45.19 for employees born on or before 31 December 1961. Under-18 employees pay a fixed €6.62 a week. Employees on the student-worker scheme pay 10% of wage capped at €4.38 (under 18) or €7.94 (18 and over) a week.

These are Malta's three tax computation methods. Married and Parent rates have a wider 0% tax band than Single rates, and the band widens further if you have one or two-or-more qualifying children. Your actual eligibility depends on your personal circumstances — check with the Commissioner for Revenue if you're unsure which applies to you.
No. The statutory government bonus is paid and taxed separately from your regular salary, four times a year. The calculator shows it as a separate reference figure rather than folding it into the net salary total.
For most adult employees, it's 10% of gross weekly wage, with a minimum weekly contribution for lower earners and a maximum weekly cap for higher earners (a lower cap applies if you were born on or before 31 December 1961). Under-18s pay a fixed weekly amount, and students on the student-worker scheme pay a lower capped rate. The calculator's checkboxes let you match your own circumstances.
