🇫🇷 Income Tax in France — Impôt sur le Revenu
France uses a family quotient (quotient familial) system dividing household income by fiscal parts before applying brackets. Single = 1 part; married = 2 parts; each of first 2 children adds 0.5 parts. Since 2019, employees have tax withheld via prélèvement à la source.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between marginal and effective tax rate?
Your marginal rate is the rate applied to your last euro/dollar/pound of income — the highest bracket you fall into. Your effective rate is total tax ÷ total income. Because progressive systems tax different income bands at different rates, your effective rate is always lower than your marginal rate. A US single filer earning $80,000 has a 22% marginal rate but an effective federal rate of roughly 13%.
Are social contributions (NI, pension, Medicare) included in results?
Yes. BeastyTax includes all major employee-side social contributions alongside income tax, because they all reduce your take-home pay. This covers National Insurance (UK), pension/health/unemployment (Germany), CSG/CRDS (France), CPP/EI (Canada), Medicare Levy (Australia), ZUS (Poland), and more.
Is BeastyTax really free?
Yes — 100% free. No account, no signup, no paywall. You can calculate your taxes as many times as you want for any of our supported countries. The tool is ad-supported.
How accurate are the tax calculations?
BeastyTax uses official 2025 rates for most countries, with country-specific logic: Germany uses the precise §32a EStG formula, France applies the full quotient familial with half-part ceiling, US covers all 50 state taxes, and Canada includes all 13 provinces and territories. Switzerland, Finland, Netherlands, and Belgium use best-available estimates. Results are a guide — always verify with a tax professional.
When do I need to file my taxes?
USA: April 15. UK: January 31 online. Germany: July 31. France: late May–June online. Netherlands: May 1. Canada: April 30. Australia: October 31. Spain: June 30. Italy: September 30 (730 form). Poland: April 30. Sweden: May 2. All dates refer to the return for the prior tax year.
What is PAYE / Lohnsteuer / prélèvement à la source?
These are pay-as-you-earn systems where your employer deducts income tax from each paycheck automatically. The UK calls it PAYE, Germany uses Lohnsteuerabzug, France introduced prélèvement à la source in 2019, and the Netherlands uses loonheffing. Most employees under these systems do not need to file a return unless they have additional income or want to claim extra deductions.
Disclaimer:BeastyTax provides tax estimates for informational purposes only. Most calculations use official 2025 tax rates. Rates for Switzerland, Finland, Netherlands, and Belgium are based on best-available estimates and should be independently verified. Results are intended as a guide, not financial or legal advice.
