Austria Part-Time Salary Calculator 2026
Fewer hours do not mean proportionally less take-home pay. This calculator scales your full-time salary to your new weekly hours and shows part-time gross and net pay for Austria: with 2026 social insurance and wage tax, the 13th and 14th salary and your net pay per working hour compared with full time.
Part-time net pay per month

Your part-time salary is at most €2,630 a month. At that level your unemployment contribution is reduced, and up to €2,225 it disappears entirely, which lifts your net further.

Good to know
You keep a larger share of your annual net than of your hours; the overview shows by how many percentage points. That is the progression effect: the cut mainly removes the part of your salary that was taxed highest.
- If you work more than agreed in part-time, those extra hours earn a 25 percent surcharge unless they are balanced 1:1 with time off within three months (section 19d(3a) and (3b) AZG). Regular extra hours also count towards the special payments (section 19d(4) AZG).
- Your holiday stays at five weeks a year (30 working days under section 2 UrlG, 36 after 25 years of service). In part-time those weeks convert to your working days: with three working days a week that is 15 days of leave.
Non-binding estimate for 2026 (white-collar, 14 salaries) under section 19d AZG, sections 33 and 67 EStG and the 2026 social insurance rates. The part-time gross is the proportional minimum; allowances and collective agreements can add more. Not included: sole-earner and single-parent credits, commuter allowance, extra hours and benefits in kind. Your payslip is what counts.

How much net pay do you keep in part-time in Austria?
In part-time your gross falls exactly in proportion to your hours, but in Austria your net usually falls less: the part of the salary you give up is the most heavily taxed part, the unemployment contribution drops for lower pay, and the 13th and 14th salary keep their privileged 6 percent rate.
The formula
Part-time gross = full-time gross times part-time hours divided by full-time hours. Net = gross minus 2026 Austrian social insurance and wage tax, across 14 payments. Net per hour = annual net divided by weekly hours times 52.
Worked example
Example: 3,500 EUR gross for 40 hours becomes 2,187.50 EUR gross and 1,753.28 EUR net a month at 25 weekly hours, plus 1,784.51 EUR net twice as the 13th and 14th salary. You work 62.50 percent of the hours and keep 70.26 percent of your full-time annual net. Per hour that is 18.93 EUR net instead of 16.84 EUR.
Key figures for 2026

| Statutory full time | 40 hours a week (section 3 AZG), often less under collective agreements |
| Salaries per year | 14, in part-time too, each pro rata |
| Marginal employment limit 2026 | €551.10 a month, below it no employee contributions |
| Reduced unemployment contribution | up to €2,630 gross a month, none up to €2,225 |
| Extra hours in part-time | 25 percent surcharge (section 19d(3a) AZG) |

How the Austrian part-time calculator works
The basis is section 19d(6) AZG: part-time employees may not be treated less favourably than full-time employees because of their part-time work. Someone working 25 instead of 40 hours therefore gets at least 62.5 percent of the full-time gross. That proportional amount is what the calculator uses, 14 times a year, because the 13th and 14th salary are paid pro rata in part-time too.
From the part-time gross the calculator deducts 2026 social insurance (18.07 percent, 18.32 percent in Vienna, 17.07 percent on the 13th and 14th salary) and wage tax on the 2026 tariff with the traffic credit. It uses the same engine as the Austria net salary calculator. Both salaries run through the same calculation, so the comparison is direct.
The interesting part is the progression effect. The Austrian tariff rises in steps from 0 to 55 percent: when you cut your hours, exactly the top, most heavily taxed part of your salary disappears. For salaries up to €2,630 a month the unemployment contribution also drops, and up to €2,225 it disappears. So your net usually falls by a smaller percentage than your working time.
If the part-time salary drops to €551.10 a month or less, the job is marginal employment in 2026: you pay no social insurance contributions but are only covered by accident insurance. The calculator detects this automatically and says so.
What the calculator does not know: collective-agreement allowances, overtime or extra hours, the commuter allowance or the sole-earner credit. The figures show the direction and the order of magnitude very precisely, but they do not replace a payslip.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I convert a full-time salary to part-time?
- Divide your full-time gross by the full-time hours and multiply by your part-time hours. With €3,500 for 40 hours, 25 hours give €2,187.50 gross a month, 14 times a year. Your net falls less than that, because the tax tariff is progressive.
- Do I get the 13th and 14th salary in part-time?
- There is no statutory right to a 13th and 14th salary: it almost always comes from the collective agreement or your employment contract. Where it applies, holiday and Christmas pay are paid pro rata in part-time, usually one part-time monthly salary each. The calculator assumes these 14 payments. They keep their privileged 6 percent tax rate. Regular extra hours have to be taken into account (section 19d(4) AZG).
- How much net do I keep working 20 hours?
- That depends on the full-time salary. Enter your full-time gross and 20 weekly hours in the calculator: it shows the monthly net, the 13th and 14th salary net and what percentage of your full-time net you keep. It is usually more than half.
- How much holiday do I get in part-time in Austria?
- Still five weeks a year (30 working days under section 2 UrlG, 36 after 25 years of service). The weeks convert to your working days: with three working days a week that is 15 days of leave.
- What if I work more than agreed in part-time?
- Hours beyond the agreed amount are extra hours with a 25 percent surcharge, unless they are balanced 1:1 with time off within three months (section 19d(3a) and (3b) AZG). The collective agreement may provide otherwise.
- When is part-time marginal employment in Austria?
- In 2026 the marginal employment limit is €551.10 a month. Up to that you pay no social insurance contributions but are only covered by accident insurance. Above it you are fully insured, though up to €2,225 without an unemployment contribution of your own.
