• Single, €20,000At the single rates, the first €12,000 is tax-free, €12,000–€16,000 is taxed at 15%, and €16,000–€20,000 at 25%.
• Married with 1 child, €25,000The married-with-1-child band pushes the tax-free threshold up to €17,500 before the 15% band starts, lowering the estimated tax compared to the base married rate.
• Income above €60,000Any status: income above €60,000 is taxed at the top 35% rate on the portion above that threshold, regardless of status or children.

Malta uses progressive tax bands: each band's rate applies only to the portion of income that falls within it, not to the whole income. The tool sums the tax owed in each band up to your income level. Total tax = sum across each band of (portion of income in that band x that band's rate).

Malta's Tax and Customs Administration (MTCA) publishes seven individual computation structures for 2026: single, married (no children, 1 child, 2+ children), and parent (no children, 1 child, 2+ children). Single has no children variant. The bands used here follow MTCA's published 2026 rates (mtca.gov.mt), cross-checked against independent professional tax-advisory summaries for the child-inclusive bands. Rates are set by the annual Budget and can change — this is current as of 2026.

It does not include social security (National Insurance) contributions, employer payroll costs, tax credits or deductions you may be entitled to, or special regimes (for example non-domiciled or highly-qualified-persons schemes). Your actual tax liability can differ based on your full personal circumstances.

What are the Malta income tax bands for 2026?

Malta uses progressive bands from 0% up to 35%, with the exact thresholds depending on your status (single, married, or parent) and, for married or parent, your number of dependent children (0, 1, or 2+). See the breakdown in this calculator for the exact bands.

Does this include social security contributions?

No. This calculates personal income tax only. Social security (National Insurance) contributions are separate and not included here.

What is the difference between married and parent status?

Both are separate computation methods with their own bands, and each becomes more favorable with more dependent children under the 2026 rates. Which one applies depends on your personal and family circumstances — check the official MTCA guidance for eligibility.
