Comparing Two Malta Contracts Side by Side
Choosing between two contracting offers in Malta usually means comparing more than the headline day rate — the contract length, expected billable days, and resulting Class 2 SSC and income tax all shift the actual net outcome. This calculator runs both contracts through the same 2026 tax bands and Class 2 SSC rules (15%, capped at €29,083.36/year of net income) at once, rather than requiring you to run the self-employed calculator twice and compare manually.
What gets compared
- Gross annualised income for each contract, based on day rate and duration
- Class 2 SSC due on each (15%, capped at €29,083.36/year)
- 2026 progressive income tax on each
- The resulting net income and effective tax rate difference between the two, in one table
