ow you can do the math on your net salary taking into account the withholding tax tables for the second half of 2023.
In 2023, the withholding tax tables are different depending on the semester in question. The withholding tax tables in place in the first half of the year underwent some adjustments in April and came into force with new rates in May and June. Now, and since July 1st, 2023, a new model of withholding tax tables is in force. The new withholding tax tables reflect the adjustment of withholding tax rates in a marginal rate logic, which avoids situations of regression, such as those in which increases in the gross monthly remuneration lead to a decrease in the net monthly remuneration.
Coverflex's net salary calculator is easy to use and aims to help you calculate your net income during the second half of 2023 - and you can also include what you get in Coverflex benefits!
What is the impact of Coverflex benefits on net income?
The impact of Coverflex benefits on net income varies depending on the benefit(s) used. All Coverflex benefits are exempt from Social Security but only some are exempt from Social Security and personal income tax:
- Benefits exempt from Social Security only: Education Expenses, Health and Well-being, Gym & Fitness, Senior Expenses, and Savings and Retirement.
- Benefits exempt from Social Security and personal income tax: Coverflex Childcare, Public Transportation, Technology, Donations, Parking, Professional Training, and Health Insurance.
Although this calculator covers Coverflex benefits, it is not valid only for Coverflex users. Our goal is that this calculator is a reference tool and relevant to all workers in Portugal. The Coverflex benefits fields allow our users to understand the impact on their net salary of allocating their benefits balance to the different categories available through Coverflex. However, if you receive these benefits through another solution or directly through your company, you can also use this calculator to simulate their impact on your net salary.
