How this estimate works
- Standard IRPF uses approximate combined national + regional rates (19%–47%) and applies the standard personal allowance of €5,550.
- Beckham Law applies a flat 24% on taxable income (gross minus deductible expenses, no personal allowance). Income above €600,000 is taxed at 47%.
- Regional IRPF rates vary — Madrid is lower than the national average; Catalonia and Valencia are higher. This calculator uses approximate national averages.
- A common myth: that a salary from a U.S. employer is "foreign-source" and therefore untaxed in Spain under Beckham. It is not — under the regime all employment income is deemed Spanish-source and taxed at 24%, whoever pays it. The 24% figure here is the real rate on your salary, not a conservative placeholder. What Beckham does leave untaxed by Spain is your foreign non-employment income (foreign dividends, interest, capital gains).
- Social Security contributions (RETA for autónomos, ~€200–350/month) are the same under both regimes and are not included in this comparison.
