Income Tax rates ranked

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. Each country’s rate is individually researched, sourced and dated — see its own citation on its country page. 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%.
