Understanding your salary in Greece (2026)

Greece uses a progressive income tax system with five brackets ranging from 9% to 44%. The tax system includes a tax credit for lower incomes, EFKA social security contributions, and -- as of 2026 -- the solidarity surcharge remains suspended for private sector employees. Greece is an Eurozone country, so salaries are denominated in euros.

Income tax brackets -- 2026

Greek income tax has five brackets: 9% on income up to 10,000, 22% on 10,001-20,000, 28% on 20,001-30,000, 36% on 30,001-40,000, and 44% on income above 40,000. Income tax is calculated on the taxable income, which is gross salary minus EFKA social security contributions.

Tax credit

Greece provides a tax credit of up to 777 per year for taxable income up to 12,000. The credit phases out for income between 12,000 and the amount where it reaches zero. For most professional salaries above 12,000 taxable income, the credit reduces proportionally and is eventually eliminated.

EFKA social security

Employees contribute approximately 13.87% of gross salary to EFKA (Unified Social Insurance Fund), covering pension (6.67%), health (2.15%), supplementary pension (0.325%), unemployment (1.37%), and other contributions. These are deducted before calculating income tax, reducing the taxable base. Employers pay an additional ~22.29% on top of the gross salary.

Solidarity surcharge

The solidarity contribution (eisphora allilengyis) has been suspended for private sector employees through 2026. Previously, this added 0-10% on top of income tax. This suspension represents a meaningful tax savings, especially for higher earners.

How does the Greek tax credit work?

Greece offers a tax credit of up to 777 per year. The full credit applies when taxable income is at or below 12,000. For income above 12,000, the credit is reduced by 777 x (taxable income - 12,000) / (taxable income). For higher salaries, the credit becomes negligible.
