Terms of use

Acceptance of these terms

By using the Palgatasku site you accept these terms of use in full. If you disagree with any part of them, please do not use the site. The operator reserves the right to change these terms at any time — changes take effect upon publication on this page.

What Palgatasku is

Palgatasku is a free online informational tool offering a net-pay calculator and explanatory pages on Estonian tax for standard resident employment. The site is not registered as a provider of financial, accounting or legal services.

All calculations run locally in your browser, based on publicly available rates and parameters valid as of the date of the last verification. The figures are the rates in force for 2026; the result they produce is an estimate, not an official calculation.

What the site is not

Palgatasku is not an official tool of the Estonian Tax and Customs Board (Maksu- ja Tolliamet, EMTA) or any other public authority, is not an accounting service, is not a source of legal or tax advice, and does not guarantee accuracy for your specific situation — a general calculator cannot account for every circumstance of an individual case.

For binding calculations, filings and official positions, contact the Estonian Tax and Customs Board (emta.ee) or an authorised accountant or tax adviser.

Proper use

You agree to use the site in accordance with the law and not to attempt to access parts of the site that are not publicly available, to use automated scripts, bots or scrapers in a way that burdens the server or disrupts normal operation of the site, to reproduce, distribute or commercially use the calculators or the site’s content without prior consent, or to use the site in a way that could harm other users or third parties.

Disclaimer

The site is provided “as is”, without express or implied warranties as to the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of the data. While we try to keep the calculator aligned with current rates and the current legal framework, tax and labour-law rules can change, and specific situations may need individual assessment that a general calculator cannot cover. Results use the rates in force for 2026 and must not be used for official or tax decisions.

You use the site at your own risk. The operator is not liable for any direct, indirect or consequential damage arising from the use of, or inability to use, the site, nor for decisions made on the basis of the calculator’s results.

Before making important financial decisions — signing an employment contract, changing your funded-pension rate, or filing an income-tax return — we recommend consulting an authorised accountant or tax adviser.

Intellectual property

All content on the site (text, calculators, graphics, methodology) is protected by copyright and other applicable intellectual-property law. Personal, non-commercial use is permitted without separate consent.

Any commercial use, embedding the calculator in another site, or bulk downloading of content requires prior written consent. Contact us at info@desymphony.com.

Advertising and affiliate content

The site displays no third-party advertising. If that ever changes, the site may show third-party ads (for example, Google AdSense) or affiliate links, always clearly labelled as such. The operator does not control the content of third-party ads and is not responsible for their accuracy or reliability.

Rules regarding consent to advertising and analytics cookies are set out in the cookie policy and the privacy policy.

Third-party links

The site may contain links to external sites (for example, the Estonian Tax and Customs Board, Statistics Estonia, or banks). The operator does not control the content of external sites and takes no responsibility for their terms of use, privacy policy or availability.

Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Estonia, in particular the Law of Obligations Act (võlaõigusseadus) and, to the extent applicable, the Consumer Protection Act (tarbijakaitseseadus). The site is a free informational service with no registration and no payment, so no purchase or other paid contract arises between the operator and the user; the provisions above apply by analogy where relevant.

Any disputes arising from use of the site will first be addressed amicably between the parties; failing that, the competent court of the Republic of Estonia has jurisdiction.

Changes to these terms

The operator reserves the right to change these terms at any time. Material changes will be marked with the last-updated date in the page footer and, where applicable, announced via a notice on the site. Continuing to use the site after changes take effect confirms your acceptance of the new terms. Last updated: august 2026.
