iHow it is calculated
Three mandatory deductions are taken from the gross salary, in order: first the social contributions (CAS, CASS), then income tax on what remains, after subtracting the personal deduction (if it applies):
net = gross − CAS(25%) − CASS(10%) − Tax(10% × [gross − CAS − CASS − deduction])
For a gross salary of 8,000 RON (above the deduction ceiling): CAS = 2,000, CASS = 800, taxable base 5,200 RON, tax 520 RON, so net 4,680 RON. The total employer cost (CAM 2.25%) is 8,180 RON. For lower salaries (under ~6,050 RON) the personal deduction is added, raising the net.
