Understanding your salary in Portugal (2026)

Portugal uses a progressive income tax (IRS) with 9 brackets ranging from 13% to 48%, making it one of Europe's most steeply progressive systems. Social security for employees is a flat 11%, and a solidarity surcharge applies to very high incomes. Portugal also pays 14 salaries per year (12 regular + holiday + Christmas bonus).

IRS tax brackets — 2026

The 2026 brackets were updated by 3.51% and rates for brackets 2-5 reduced by 0.3 percentage points. The 9 brackets range from 13% on the first ~€8,342 to 48% on income above ~€84,871. Before applying tax brackets, employees benefit from a €4,104 specific deduction. Portugal notably has no general tax-free allowance — tax applies from the first euro of taxable income above the deduction.

NHR 2.0 / IFICI regime

The original Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) regime was replaced in 2024 by IFICI, which offers a flat 20% tax rate on Portuguese employment income for qualifying professionals in research, technology, startups, and innovation sectors. Foreign-source passive income can be tax-exempt. You must not have been a Portuguese tax resident in the previous 5 years.
