Valencia/Valenciana Take-Home Pay Calculator 2025: IRPF + Seguridad Social

Valencian autonomic IRPF and recent reforms

Comunidad Valenciana autonomic IRPF rates are higher than Madrid baseline but lower than Catalonia. The current government (PP-Vox coalition since 2023) has signaled intention to reduce rates progressively, though as of 2025 the structure remains higher than Madrid. The combined top rate is approximately 47 to 48 percent.

For typical mid-income professionals, the Comunidad Valenciana IRPF surcharge above Madrid is approximately 0.5 to 1.5 percent of taxable income. For a 60,000 euro Valencia professional, this translates to 300 to 900 euro per year in additional autonomic tax.
