The personal income tax to be paid on the minimum wage will be nine percent, Kapitány István announced on Wednesday on Facebook.
If the personal income tax becomes 9 percent after the minimum wage, more than HUF 240,000 more will remain in the pockets of those who earn less every year. According to Kapitány, everyone who earns below the median wage – currently up to HUF 625,000 gross income per month – will also pay less personal income tax. A gross salary of 420,000 will leave you with an extra 180,000 forints per year, with 500,000 approximately 120,000 per year, and with 625,000 forints 60,000 per year.
The future Minister of Economy and Energy wrote that one of the most important goals of the Tisza Party is to break inflation with a credible and predictable economic policy, because “the money of the Hungarian people cannot lose its value again and again.” The captain also touched on the fact that according to KSH’s analysis, the net real salary of 28 percent of full-time workers has decreased in 2025, that is, more than one in four Hungarian workers experienced that their salary was worth less than a year earlier. “The reality of making a living cannot be hidden behind averages,” he wrote.
