Salary Calculator
Slovenia

Our calculator provides a transparent breakdown of all costs associated with employee compensation.

The calculation starts with your gross salary, which serves as a base for all further calculations. The calculator will apply all the mandatory social security contributions for both the employer and the employee, as well as an income tax rate, which is calculated progressively.

Once the calculator applies all the mandatory deductions, it will display the net salary, which is the actual amount an employee receives in their bank account for personal use at the end of each pay cycle. 

The total cost of salary in Slovenia includes contributions from both the employee and the employer, as well as an income tax applied progressively based on the employee’s gross earnings.

Starting from the employer’s part of contributions, they cover pension insurance of 8.85%, health contributions of 6.56%, injury insurance of 0.53%, and unemployment insurance contributions of 0.06%. 

When it comes to employees’ contributions, they include pension insurance of 15.5%, health insurance of 6.36%, unemployment insurance of 0.14%, and parental protection contributions of 0.1%. In addition to this, employees must pay a personal income tax rate, which is calculated progressively based on the individual’s annual earnings. 

In simple terms, the total cost of employing an individual includes their gross salary plus the employer’s part of social security contributions, while the net salary is the amount the employee takes home after both parts of contributions and income tax are deducted from the amount. 

Employed individuals in Slovenia are required to pay an income tax rate on their annual earnings, calculated depending on their income levels. The progressive income tax is calculated as follows:

-Income up to €9,210.26: Tax rate of 16%.
-Income from €9,210.26 to €27,089.00: Tax rate of 26%.
-Income from €27,089.00 to €54,178.00: Tax rate of 33%.
-Income from €54,178.00 to €78,016.32: Tax rate of 39%.
-Income over €78,016.32: Tax rate of 50%.

*Please note that these rates can vary based on legislative changes.

Employment benefits in Slovenia are generally covered by the social security system with contributions by both employers and employees. These benefits include health insurance, pension insurance, unemployment insurance, sickness and injury benefits, parental benefits, and others. 

Besides social security benefits, employees in Slovenia are also entitled to paid annual leave, meal allowances, overtime compensation, and severance pay.

In addition to the mandatory employment benefits, some employers in Slovenia might provide optional or extra employee benefits to foster satisfaction in their organisations. Such benefits might include private health insurance, supplementary pension contributions, professional development opportunities, travel reimbursements, and bonuses based on the employee’s performance. 

The terms gross and net salary in Slovenia represent different stages of an employee’s earnings. Gross salary is the total amount agreed upon between the employer and the employee before deductions. This amount includes the base pay along with bonuses and allowances and serves as the starting point for calculating the net salary.

The net salary, on the other hand, is the amount the employee takes home each month after deductions. Such deductions include social security contributions for healthcare, pension, unemployment, injuries, and others, as well as an income tax. 

While the gross salary reflects the overall earnings, the net salary represents what employees actually receive in their bank accounts at the end of every pay cycle.
