About this Dataset

Estonia recorded 23.2 % of gross earnings (tax + employee contributions) in 2025. The latest change was +2.6pp. Across 2000–2025 the series ranges from 14.6 in 2018 to 23.2 in 2025.

This page tracks the combined personal income tax and employee social security contribution rate in Estonia for a single person with no children earning 100% of the average wage — the OECD's standard comparison case. This is NOT income tax alone: employee social contributions are included, so the figure is materially higher than a headline income tax rate. Household type matters too — a one-earner couple with two children faces a different rate in most countries.

Data sourced from OECD via SDMX REST API. Values use harmonised methodology intended for cross-country comparison.
