About the app

More than a simple calculator

How much of your salary is left — and what does an employment really cost? BruttoNetto works out both in seconds, under Austrian law and with every detail of Austrian payroll: for employees, workers, apprentices, freelancers and retirees, in all nine federal states and for the tax years 2009 to 2027. Working backwards, it finds the gross figure for the net pay you want, to the cent — and where several fit, the lowest.

Bonuses, commissions, allowances, tax-free benefits, benefits in kind and reimbursements go into one list — from 43 wage-type templates or as custom wage types of your own. Overtime and extra work, the commuter allowance, Family Bonus Plus and a benefit-in-kind calculator for company car, company flat and employer loan are covered too. For employers, the app shows personnel costs, payroll charges, overheads and hourly rate at a glance.

The app calculates month by month, so special payments, recalculations and mid-year changes come out right. Rates are updated for each year, including preliminary figures for the upcoming year, so the app is useful in salary negotiations before the law is final. It works fully with VoiceOver and large text.

FAQ

01

Does the app work for Germany?

No. BruttoNetto calculates exclusively under Austrian tax and social-insurance law. German salaries follow different rules and would produce wrong results.

02

Do I need an internet connection?

No. All calculations run entirely on your device. The app never connects to a server, which is also why it collects no data.

03

Which years can I calculate?

Every tax year from 2009 to 2027, with 2027 based on provisional figures. The app works through each year month by month, so mid-year changes are taken into account too — such as the higher health-insurance contribution for retirees from June 2025.

04

Can I calculate from net to gross?

Yes. Enter your desired net salary and the app works out the gross figure — useful for salary negotiations. If several gross amounts lead to the same net, at the marginal earnings threshold for instance, it shows the lowest.

05

Can I save several calculations?

Yes, since version 5.0 you can keep multiple calculation variants. Tap the back button in the top-left corner (or open the sidebar on iPad and Mac) and add a new calculation. Calculations can also be saved as a file and passed on.

06

What are the system requirements?

iOS 18 / iPadOS 18, macOS 15 or visionOS 2 and newer. Family Sharing is supported — up to six family members can use one purchase.

07

I found a wrong rate or a bug — what now?

Write to herwig@therangers.net with the calculation year and the values you entered. Rate corrections usually ship within days.


What’s new

Version history

6.1.1

Oct 2026

Overtime at 100 % (Sunday, public holiday, night): once the tax-free amount under § 68 (1) EStG is used up by allowances and premiums, the premium up to half the base pay is again tax-free under § 68 (2) – for at most 15 overtime hours a month and up to € 170. Since version 6.0 this excess was fully taxable, so the wage tax came out too high in such cases. All calculations without this excess are unchanged.

6.1

Oct 2026

Considerably faster calculation of result, chart, salary table and net → gross, without changing any result. If several gross amounts lead to the requested net, at the marginal earnings threshold for instance, the app now always shows the lowest. The result table and chart adapt to the space available and to large text, and VoiceOver reads out inputs, results and the chart. Plus a notice when a calculation fails and several fixes for iPad and Mac.

6.0

Oct 2026

Additional pay is now a list you put together yourself — from 43 wage-type templates, each with a practical example and the limit of the selected year, or as custom wage types with your own treatment in tax and social insurance. Also new: a benefit-in-kind calculator that shows its working, apprentices, active pension and tax year 2027 (provisional). A new calculation engine works through every year from 2009 to 2027 month by month, including mid-year changes and recalculation. Plus default settings for business values, a revised help and numerous corrections, among them the Family Bonus Plus for children over 18.

5.9

Jul 2026

The language can now be switched directly in the settings, without restarting the app. Net → gross matches the requested net amount to the cent and suggests the roundest gross figure. Entries are saved automatically in the background. Plus a correction to the 2026 commuter compensation amount (€357) and numerous further bug fixes.

5.8

Jan 2026

Commuter euro raised to €6. Tax-free treatment of 50% overtime premiums for the first 15 overtime hours (up to €170) in 2026. Vienna housing-subsidy surcharge of 0.5% from 1 Jan 2026.

5.7

Sep 2025

Preliminary calculations for 2026.

5.6.3

Jun 2025

New calculation period “2025 from June 1st”, reflecting the raised health-insurance contribution for pensioners (6%).

5.6.2

Apr 2025

Fixed loading and saving of calculations.

5.6.1

Oct 2024

Corrected the employer-contribution rate.

5.6

Sep 2024

Preliminary calculations for 2025.

5.0

Jul 2023

Multiple calculation variants can be created and saved.
