Romania Take-Home Salary Calculator
Free Romania net salary calculator: 25% CAS, 10% CASS and 10% income tax, every step shown.
What does the Romania Take-Home Salary Calculator do?
It converts a gross Romanian monthly salary into net pay by deducting CAS social insurance at 25%, CASS health insurance at 10%, and income tax at 10% on the remaining base.
- Inputs: gross monthly salary.
- Output: net pay with CAS, CASS and income tax itemised.
- Method: the 2026 Romanian contribution and tax rates.
Quick answer
A RON 8,000 monthly salary nets about RON 4,680 after CAS of RON 2,000, CASS of RON 800 and income tax of RON 520. The combined employee burden is 41.5% of gross.
What This Calculator Really Does
Romania has one of the simplest payroll structures in Europe: a flat 25% social insurance contribution, a flat 10% health contribution, and a flat 10% income tax on what remains. There are no progressive bands and no complex allowances for a standard employee. The employer adds CAM of 2.25% on top, which does not reduce your pay.
The rules it applies
- CAS: 25% of gross for social insurance (pensions).
- CASS: 10% of gross for health insurance.
- Income tax: 10% of the base after CAS and CASS.
- CAM: 2.25% paid by the employer on top, never deducted from your pay.
- Not modelled: the personal deduction for low earners, meal vouchers, and the construction and IT sector exemptions.
Worked example with real numbers
Gross RON 8,000: CAS = 25% = RON 2,000. CASS = 10% = RON 800. Taxable base = 8,000 - 2,000 - 800 = RON 5,200. Income tax = 10% = RON 520. Take-home = RON 4,680 a month, a total employee burden of 41.5%.
Reading the result
The donut separates the income tax from the two contributions, because CAS and CASS fund your pension and healthcare. Romania taxes labour heavily on the employee side, but the employer CAM is low by regional standards, which is why employers prefer it. Low earners may qualify for a personal deduction that reduces the taxable base, and workers in construction, IT and agriculture enjoy contribution exemptions, so check your sector before relying on the standard figure. Because the rates are flat rather than progressive, a pay rise is taxed at the same 41.5% rate across the whole salary, so the marginal cost of an increase is predictable.
