Hypothetical tax is used as the first step in calculating a Net Assignment Salary. This is done by first deducting Home Hypothetical Tax to determine the Home Net Salary. Then adjusting the Home Net Salary for cost of living and hardship differences using the Report Calculators to arrive at the Net Assignment Salary. This approach ensures that the employee is not better or worse off as a result of higher or lower host country tax (equalisation). Please note that the tax tables are annual / per year. To calculate the correct tax, only use annualised salary values.
