Malta uses a progressive income tax system, meaning higher portions of income are taxed at higher rates, and the rate applied depends on your tax status - single, married, or parent. Below are the 2026 tax bands for a single taxpayer.
| Income Band (Single) | Tax Rate |
|---|---|
| €0 - €12,000 | 0% |
| €12,001 - €16,000 | 15% |
| €16,001 - €60,000 | 25% |
| Above €60,000 | 35% |
Married taxpayers benefit from a higher tax-free threshold, starting at €15,000, and parents at €13,000, before the same progressive rates apply to income above those thresholds.
In addition to income tax, employees in Malta pay a Class 1 Social Security Contribution equal to 10% of their basic weekly wage, capped at €55.93 per week for higher earners. Self-employed individuals instead pay a Class 2 contribution of 15% of net annual income, capped at €83.89 per week.
