2026 has two periods: January–June and July–December. The selected earning month determines the rules, not the payment date. The calculator does not extrapolate to 2027.

Contributions, deductions and tax are rounded separately to whole lei (0.50 upwards), using the D112 payroll convention. For the taxable base, an exact 0.50 fraction is dropped (art. 66 and norms point 4). Cents in gross and vouchers remain in net pay.

Questions about Romanian net pay

How is Romanian net salary calculated?

Cash gross minus CAS at 25%, CASS at 10% and income tax at 10% of the taxable base. That base accounts for contributions, deductions and eligible tax-free relief. Meal vouchers enter the CASS and income tax bases, but not CAS or CAM (Fiscal Code art. 78, 138, 142, 156–157 and 220⁴).

Who qualifies for personal deductions?

Deductions apply only at the main job. The basic deduction depends on gross income, including vouchers, and dependents, up to the national minimum plus RON 2,000. The youth deduction has the same ceiling; the additional deduction for eligible children has no such income ceiling (Fiscal Code art. 77).

Why must I confirm tax-free eligibility?

OUG 89/2025 art. III requires basic pay equal to the national minimum, full-time work, the main job and no reduction of basic pay. Relief is RON 300 in January–June and RON 200 in July–December, with cash income ceilings of RON 4,300 and RON 4,600 respectively. Relief is prorated for partial months; this calculator covers complete months.
