Question 1

What is a net salary API?

Accepted Answer

A REST service that converts gross salary into net take-home pay. You send a country, a gross amount and a period; the API returns net pay, total employer cost, the effective tax rate and an itemized breakdown of income tax and social contributions.

Question 2

Which countries does the salary API support?

Accepted Answer

Eighteen countries: Germany, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Spain, Poland, Switzerland, Ireland, Portugal, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Austria, Belgium, Brazil and the UAE — with 2025 and 2026 tax rules.

Question 3

How accurate are the calculations?

Accepted Answer

Each country's rules are maintained against official 2026 tax brackets and social contribution rates, and every response includes the date the rules were last reviewed. Results are estimates for standard employment income and do not replace professional tax advice.

Question 4

Does it calculate employer cost as well as net pay?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every calculation returns both the employee net take-home pay and the total cost to employ — gross salary plus employer social contributions — which is what finance teams need for budgeting and quoting international hires.

Question 5

Is there a free tier?

Accepted Answer

Yes — 100 calls per month with all 18 countries included. Paid tiers start at €99 per month for 10,000 calls and add country comparison and the bank holidays API.

Question 6

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Create a free API key in the dashboard, then send your first request with a single curl command. No SDK, contract or sales call required.
