1. Making sense of your salary

A job offer usually states the gross salary. For your personal budget, what matters is the take-home amount, while for the employer it's the full cost of the payment. The salary calculator lets you start from any of these three figures and see how they relate to each other.

First choose the year you need: separate rules for 2025 and 2026 are available, along with a comparison. Then enter the starting amount and check the conditions, including contributions to Pillar II, retirement age and insurance. The same gross amount can give a different net figure depending on the conditions.

Look not only at the total but at what makes up the calculation. If the result differs from your payslip, compare the period and the selected conditions. Switching the page language does not switch the calculator to another country's tax system.

2. Checking a discounted price

An item costs 80 euros, with a 25% discount. A quarter of 80 is 20 euros, so the final price is 60 euros. The percentage calculator helps check this kind of calculation and compare offers.

When comparing, take the final amount into account: delivery and extra fees can change your choice. And don't simply add up consecutive discounts — the second one may be calculated from the already reduced price.

If the price is shown in another currency, the converter nearby will come in handy. Pay attention to the date of the ECB reference rate: a bank or payment service may use its own rate and fee.

3. Narrowing down a clothing size

The same letter on a label doesn't guarantee the same fit. In the calculator you can start from body measurements or a known size label, choose the type of clothing and an available brand. For comparison, use the same measurement throughout: for example, chest circumference can't be replaced with waist circumference.

The resulting adult size is a guide before you buy. Check the size chart for the specific item you've chosen and its fit recommendations: cut, fabric and a particular product line can affect the choice. The calculator helps narrow down the search, but the final decision is yours.
