How Finnish taxes work
Progressive income tax
Finland uses a progressive state tax scale (2026). State tax is paid in addition to the municipal tax:
- €0–€22,000: 12.64%
- €22,000–€32,600: 19.00%
- €32,600–€40,100: 30.25%
- €40,100–€52,100: 33.25%
- €52,100+: 37.50%
Municipal tax
Each municipality sets its own rate. In 2026 it ranges from 4.7 % (Kauniainen) to 10.9 % (Pomarkku), with a weighted average of 7.57 %. Helsinki 5.3 %, Espoo 5.3 %, Vantaa 6.4 %, Turku 7.1 %, Tampere 7.6 %, Oulu 8.1 %. Healthcare, schools and social services are funded by wellbeing services counties from state funding, so municipal rates are lower than before 2023.
Church tax
Members of the Evangelical Lutheran or Orthodox church pay an additional tax of about 1-2 % of taxable income (average 1.38 % in 2026). You can leave the church to stop paying it.
Social security
Employee pension (7.30 %) and unemployment insurance (0.89 %) contributions total 8.19 %. The health insurance contribution is 1.10 % (1.49 % for pensions and benefits), and the daily allowance contribution is 0.88 % once wages exceed 17,255 €. An earned income tax credit (18 %, max 3,430 €) and a 750 € expenses deduction reduce the tax.
