About these estimates

How we estimate

Income tax uses the DGFiP scale for 2025 income as a proxy for 2026 pay. These are 2026 figures where applicable. Special regimes and Alsace-Moselle are not modelled. Figures are Relocora estimates unless labelled official with a government source link. Take-home is a Relocora estimate, not an official payslip: 19 Urssaf net-before-tax lookup points from 20,000 to 120,000 € gross a year (PASS split at 48,060 €), plus DGFiP 2025-income tax divided by 12. Outside that gross range we show no take-home figure. Employee mutuelle (40 EUR/month, employer 20) is included in the take-home model; the optional health top-up line is for when you have no employer plan. Optional heating can be toggled in the monthly lines; turn it off when heating is already in the rent. Some household costs are not yet sourced and stay hidden.

We review the figures about every quarter.

Special regimes are not modelled. Alsace-Moselle is out of this checker.

Visa and residence fees are not in the cash total; see France-Visas.
