Portugal Income Tax — How It Works
In Portugal, a €30,000 gross salary results in approximately €21,610 take-home pay after income tax (IRS) and social security contributions in 2026. Portugal has nine progressive IRS tax brackets ranging from 13.25% on income up to €7,703 to 48% on income above €81,199. The personal allowance is approximately €4,104 (four times the minimum wage). Employee social security contributions are 11% of gross with no ceiling. The NHR (Non-Habitual Resident) regime, now replaced by the IFICI regime, historically offered qualifying expats a flat 20% rate on Portuguese-sourced professional income for 10 years. The new IFICI (formerly NHR 2.0) launched in 2024 targets innovation and technology workers. Dividend income is generally taxed at a 28% flat rate, though taxpayers can elect for progressive income tax rates if more favourable. Portugal's relative affordability and tax treaties make it popular with European and Latin American entrepreneurs.
