See how much more you actually take home after a raise: enter the current gross and the percentage, and the simulator shows the new net and the monthly and annual gain.

Enter the current gross salary and the raise percentage. Net is computed with the 2026 rates, including the personal deduction.
A raise on the gross does not pass fully into the net: contributions rise proportionally, and the personal deduction shrinks as the salary goes up.
Current gross salary 5,000 +10% → New net salary 3,253 RON (Monthly net gain +271)Last updated: 9 July 2026. Rates per the Romanian Tax Code 2026 — CAS 25%, CASS 10%, income tax 10%, CAM 2.25%. Source: ANAF · mmuncii.ro.
The simulator computes the net for the current and the raised salary, then the difference between them:
At a gross of 5,000 RON with a 10% raise, the new gross is 5,500 RON, and the net gain is about 270 RON/month, that is over 3,200 RON a year.
Compare the new net with the current net. Enter the current gross and the raise percentage, and the calculator shows the new net and the monthly and annual net gain.
Usually a little less than 10% in net, because contributions rise proportionally and the personal deduction (at low salaries) shrinks. The calculator shows the exact figure.
Because CAS, CASS and tax are withheld from the gross increase, and the personal deduction decreases as the salary rises, reducing the part that actually reaches you.
Prepare concrete arguments: achievements, new responsibilities, market trends and inflation. Request a dedicated meeting and propose a realistic figure or range backed by data.
As a benchmark, a raise should at least cover inflation to preserve your purchasing power. Above inflation, the increase reflects performance and career progression.
Yes. On top of the new gross, the employer also pays CAM of 2.25%, so the total cost rises in the same proportion as the gross. You can check with the total employer cost calculator.
To avoid losing purchasing power, the net increase should be at least equal to the inflation rate. If inflation is 6%, a raise giving under 6% net is a real decrease.
No. Romania has a flat 10% income tax, with no progressive brackets. However, at low salaries a raise can reduce the personal deduction, slightly lowering the net gain.
