easyJet taxation
 

I would like to know how is the salary in easy taxed, for example on italian contract. When I punch in the the supposed "average" gross salary (judging by PPJN and EZ job adverts for FO/SFO, in the region of €70-80k gross) into online tax calculators, I end up with a figure of €3,500-4,000 net/month. That's not that much, however I potentially see a flaw in my reasoning that maybe some parts of the salary are taxed differently (lower) than others, and that results in a higher net figure? Could anyone enlighten me? How's it in another countries in the network?

I came to believe that full proper taxation across EU, for a high earning bracket like this, is in the range of 38 - 45 %.

Your numbers give 40% exactly. As much as it is a piece of bad news, looking for a different tax calculator might not be the solution.

The above sounds about right with what i've heard too.

The German headline basic also looks a bit 'low' but you also receive your 16% shift allowance on top. Plus then loyalty pay monthly, sector and other variables.

Correct. FOs net salary is a tad more than 5k on average over 12 months, and roughly 6k as an SFO, depending a bit on your tax deductions, but not much variance. Plus some kind of private pension, on top of the state one. The last few years the average was between 600 and 650 hours flown, but many sectors. Captains fly a bit more.
It takes 2 years to become SFO in Italy, even if you have 20k hours, you cannot join straight on that rank.

Taxation would be difficult to explain in detail, but CaptainProp gives a good idea.

As stated above, takehome pay per rank is roughly:
SO: €4200
FO: €5000
SFO: close to €6000
All of these are nett per month.

Reason for the high net pay compared to (not extremely high) gross, is the way the salary is taxed.
Basic pay is relatively low but taxed at ~40%. On top of that you receive sectorpay and so called "diaria" which is a daily allowance. These elements are tax free, thus the "overall taxation" is ~22%.

Also you receive a performance bonus (depending on company performance) and loyalty bonus (when eligible). And when operating > 35 sectors, the sectorpay from the 36th sector onwards is doubled.

Thanks very much, that clears things up!

SO - 2,700
FO - 3700-4,000
SFO - 5,000 -5,500
CPT - 7,500-9,500 depending on marriage status kids etc..

The easyJet contracts in Germany are acceptable for
– becoming a Captain quick
- no overnights or layovers
- no jetlag
- flying a handful of destinations with the same aircraft type
- work from comfortable, small airports

I've heard that in TXL there are around 10 overnights a month. I'll be based there soon, can anyone confirm this?

Thank you

Overnights are dropping from 7 per day to 4 per day in June. Additionally two aircraft will be replaced by two wetlease aircraft which means that pilots are not flying all that much over the summer (between 30 and 45 hours in june for many), however, they have a lot of standby. Preferential bidding allows to bid for no overnights, which works very well indeed, as there are quite a few who shuttle anyway and prefer to fly overnight duties. Not more than one night away in a row is planned though except for training duties.

Thank you :)

Does anyone have any information about easyJet's SO and FO pay in Spain?

Also, any figures for Portugal? Just got an email from EZY advising available bases to join in early 2020, Porto is among them - I know a long time ago the contract was poor, but how is it now? What's the average net pay for FO/SFO (CP as well if you know)?
