Income Tax rates ranked

37 countries · 2025

Ranked here is the top statutory personal income tax rate — the highest bracket rate that applies once income clears a country’s top threshold, combining national and sub-national or surcharge components where they exist. Figures are compiled by OECD Tax Database — Top statutory personal income tax rates, dated 2025-01-01. The bar beside each rate shows it relative to the highest rate in this list.

Rankings are ordered by each country’s unrounded rate; the table rounds displayed rates to one decimal place, so two countries can share a displayed figure while ranking in a fixed order — on the income tax ranking, for example, Japan and Denmark both display 55.9% but rank 1st and 2nd, ordered by their unrounded rates of 55.945% and 55.9044%.
