Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is this tax calculator? +

Our calculator uses current tax rates and brackets for each supported country. While we strive for accuracy, tax laws change frequently and individual circumstances vary. For precise calculations, especially with complex situations, consult a tax professional.

Which countries' tax systems are supported? +

How are tax credits different from deductions? +

Deductions reduce your taxable income, while tax credits directly reduce your tax liability dollar-for-dollar. Credits are generally more valuable than deductions of the same amount.

Does the calculator include state/provincial taxes? +

For countries with regional taxes (like U.S. states or Canadian provinces), we include average rates. For precise state/provincial calculations, you may need to consult local resources or a tax professional.

Can I save my calculations for future reference? +

Yes, you can download your results as a PDF or print them directly from the calculator. We don't store your personal data on our servers for privacy reasons.

How often is the calculator updated? +

We update tax rates annually when new budgets are passed, and make adjustments whenever significant tax law changes occur. Major updates are noted in our changelog.

What if I have income from multiple sources? +

For multiple income sources, calculate each separately or combine all income in the gross amount field. The calculator treats all income as being of the type you select.

Are capital gains included in the calculations? +

Capital gains should be included in your gross income amount. Some countries tax capital gains differently - our calculator applies standard income tax rates unless you select "Investments" as your income type.

Can I use this calculator for previous tax years? +

No, the calculator only uses current tax year rates and rules. For previous years, you'll need to find historical tax information or consult a tax professional.
