How to use Monaco Income Tax Calculator
This Monaco income tax calculator confirms that Monaco levies no personal income tax on the salaries or wages of resident individuals — a principle in force since 1869 — for 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. The 0% regime is structural, so whatever salary you enter the income tax is zero and a Monaco resident keeps effectively 100% of gross pay. The sole exception is French nationals, who under the 1963 France–Monaco convention remain liable to French income tax. Employees still pay mandatory Monégasque social-security contributions (CCSS for health and family, CAR for retirement) of roughly 10–14% of gross, but that is not an income tax. The calculator shows your income tax (zero) and your take-home pay in euros, and lets you compare tax years side by side.
- Select your tax year (2023, 2024, 2025, or 2026) — Monaco’s 0% regime is identical in every year.
- Enter your annual gross salary in euros (EUR).
- Keep the filing status as Individual — Monaco does not tax resident personal income.
- Click Calculate to confirm zero income tax and see your take-home pay.
- Note the French-national exception if it applies to you.

Why Monaco has no personal income tax
Monaco has not imposed any personal income tax on the salaries or wages of resident individuals since a sovereign ordinance of 1869. The principality funds itself largely through VAT, business taxes and state activities, so there is no payroll income tax to withhold. As a result, for the default resident case your take-home pay equals your gross pay: enter EUR 100,000 and your income tax is EUR 0. This is a structural feature of Monégasque law, which is why the calculator returns the same zero result for 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026.
The French-national exception and social security
The one exception to Monaco’s no-income-tax rule is French nationals: under the 1963 France–Monaco bilateral convention they remain subject to French income tax, collected by France. Everyone else who is a bona fide Monaco resident pays no income tax on salary. Separately, employees contribute to the Monégasque social-security funds — CCSS for health, maternity and family allowances and CAR for retirement — an employee share of roughly 10–14% of gross within ceilings, with the employer paying a larger share. These contributions fund benefits and are not an income tax, so the default calculation shows take-home equal to gross.
