What does a salary really cost?

This is a general indicative estimate using standard Cyprus rates as of 2026, including the 2026 tax reform (0% up to €22,000). It is NOT a precise payroll calculation for any specific person. Every employee has a unique combination of data — allowances, reliefs, exemptions (e.g. the 50% expatriate exemption), provident-fund and other deductions, other income, residency and personal circumstances, and 13th-salary timing — that produces a result specific to them, which this tool does not capture. Treat the output as a rough orientation only (typically within roughly 5–10% of the real figure, but it can differ more in particular cases). Do NOT use it to set a salary, quote a cost, make a hiring decision, or advise anyone — confirm the exact figures for your specific situation with your payroll specialist or a licensed Cyprus accountant first. Rates and thresholds also change over time.
