Essential Reading
Income tax thresholds have increased this year – here are the new tax band thresholds that will apply to your 2024 income declared on your 2025 tax return.
What is the French income tax scale for 2025?
The country’s progressive tax scale bands for 2025 are now as follows:
Per household unit (for more on this, see our guide Understanding French Tax- What is a Fiscal Household in France?)
- Up to €11,497: 0% tax rate

- From €29,316 to €83,823: 30% tax rate

How much tax will you pay in France in 2025?
It’s important to note that the tax rates themselves have not changed; however, the higher tax scale thresholds should mean that households will pay less income tax overall.
These tax savings will be applied to your 2025 French income tax return, which concerns tax levied on your 2024 income.
There will also be no changes to the social charges/social contributions rates in 2025.
How much will you pay in 2025?
The following examples were taken from the French government website here and show the potential income tax payment for a typical salaried worker in France (remember that this is just an example and will vary depending on your fiscal household, tax credits and reductions, etc.).
2025 rates (levied on income from 2024)
