Guide

How to read a busta paga (payslip)

Premium

Short answer

A field-by-field guide to an Italian payslip: gross and net, contributions, IRPEF, TFR, holidays, CCNL and the 13th and 14th months.

Information, not legal advice. MovItaly is not a law firm. Check with the questura or consulate before you act.

Who is this for

Employees in Italy. The employer must give you a payslip (busta paga or cedolino) every month. If you never receive one, ask. It proves your job for the permesso, housing, loans and pension.
