How net salary is calculated (2026)

Net salary in Romania 2026 follows current tax formulas.

1. Employee contributions

CAS (25%) and CASS (10%) are calculated before income tax.

2. Taxable base

Taxable base is calculated after contributions and deduction.

Taxable base = Gross salary − CAS − CASS − Applicable personal deduction

3. Income tax

Income tax is 10% of the taxable base.

Income tax = 10% × Taxable base

4. Net salary

Net salary is gross minus contributions and income tax.

Net salary = Gross salary − CAS − CASS − Income tax

Part-time handling

For part-time contracts, calculations are proportional to worked hours: Part-time gross = Minimum gross × (worked hours / 40).

Example calculation (full-time)

Reference example for gross salary 5,000 lei:

  • Gross salary: 5,000 lei
  • CAS = 5,000 × 25% = 1,250 lei
  • CASS = 5,000 × 10% = 500 lei
  • Taxable base = 5,000 − 1,250 − 500 = 3,250 lei
  • Tax = 3,250 × 10% = 325 lei
  • Net salary = 5,000 − 1,250 − 500 − 325 = 2,925 lei

Total employer cost

Besides gross salary, employer pays labor insurance contribution (CAM = 2.25%).

  • Total employer cost = Gross salary + CAM
  • Example: 5,000 + (5,000 × 2.25%) = 5,112.5 lei
