Understanding Your Salary in France: A Guide to Net and Gross Income

If you’re an expat or international worker looking to relocate to France or already living and working in France, you’re likely curious about the French tax system and how it affects your take-home pay.

In France, income tax is levied on your fiscal net salary, which differs from your net salary. But what’s the difference?

The net salary (of social contributions) is the salary that the employee actually receives before deduction of income tax. It is obtained by subtracting from the gross salary the employee social contributions, the general social contribution (CSG) and the contribution to the reimbursement of the social debt (CRDS).
Calculated from the net taxable salary (which serves as the basis for income tax), it does not include participation and profit-sharing placed on a company savings plan, because these are mainly non-taxable. But includes employers' contributions for mandatory supplementary health insurance.
