PIT & social security rates: trends
Personal income tax and social security indicators for OECD member states, 2000–2024, by household type and earnings level.
Notes:
Each line shows one jurisdiction’s value of the selected measure per year for the chosen household and earnings combination. The OECD average is drawn as a dashed line and shown by default; up to four jurisdictions — including the EU22-in-OECD aggregate — can be overlaid alongside it.
Rate measures are expressed as a percentage of gross wage earnings (or of total labour costs, for the tax wedge measures). Monetary measures — gross earnings, gross labour costs and net income — are shown in US dollars converted at purchasing power parity, so levels are comparable across jurisdictions.
Earnings levels are defined relative to each jurisdiction’s average wage: for example, “100% + 67%” denotes a two-earner couple where the principal earns the average wage and the spouse earns 67% of it. Gaps in a line mean the jurisdiction has no published value for those years.
