Annual Taxable Income Considerations

Annual taxable income is a key term in personal finance and taxation that refers to the amount of money an individual earns in 2023 that is subject to taxation in Luxembourg. This is not to be confused with gross income, which is the total money earned before any deductions. Annual taxable income is calculated by taking the gross income and subtracting allowable deductions in line with Luxembourg tax law, such as certain expenses, allowances, and exemptions as defined by Luxembourg tax regulations. Note that not all allowances are applied in the € 50,000.00 salary example, please use the dedicated salary and tax calculators we provide for a tailored result.
