Changes and improvements
Every time we fix a calculation, extend coverage to a new territory, or verify an official figure, it is logged here with a date. This is the living counterpart to the methodology page: not how the calculation works, but what has improved and when.
Current data status

We verified the two regional rent deductions we already model (Madrid and Canarias) for 2026: they had no row for that year once the calculator switched to showing 2026 by default, so they had silently stopped applying. Both are confirmed unchanged from 2025 against the consolidated text of their own law (Decreto Legislativo 1/2010 art. 8 for Madrid, Decreto-Legislativo 1/2009 art. 15 for Canarias): 30% capped at 1,237.20 euros for Madrid, 24% capped at 740 euros for Canarias.

We completed País Vasco's 2026 foral cuota: until now only Bizkaia's 2026 scale was verified, and the page fell back to a common-regime estimate for the rest of the calculation. It now also applies the real bonificación del trabajo, minoración de cuota (1,583 -> 1,615 euros) and deducción por descendientes (668/827/1,393/1,647 -> 682/844/1,421/1,680 euros, plus the under-6 supplement rising from 386 to 394 euros), verified against Norma Foral 7/2025. The bonificación del trabajo is unchanged for 2026: the law only updates the cuota deductions.

The calculator, the home page and the by-region comparison now compute on the verified 2026 figures instead of 2025 (state withholding, regional and foral scales, Social Security contributions). With 17 of 19 territories now verified for 2026, keeping the default year on 2025 no longer made sense. The Valencian Community and Extremadura, whose rate cuts are still moving through parliament, temporarily drop out of the by-region comparison until their 2026 law is published; their 2025 figures stay reachable from their own page. The only real change to the national figures is Social Security contributions (base cap and MEI, already reflected in the net salary you'll see).

We extended the 2026 regional IRPF scale to 17 of 19 territories (eleven more comunidades, plus País Vasco, Navarra, Ceuta and Melilla). Eleven comunidades are confirmed unchanged from 2025, verified against the consolidated BOE text of each regional law. Bizkaia does change: its foral tariff is deflated a further 2% for 2026 (Norma Foral 7/2025). Navarra keeps its scale but changes two cuota deductions (deducción por trabajo and deducción personal, Ley Foral 17/2025), now more generous for low and middle incomes. Ceuta and Melilla follow the state scale, also unchanged. Extremadura is still pending, like the Valencian Community: its 2026 rate cut awaits a final Assembly vote scheduled for 29-30 July.

We verified the 2026 regional IRPF scales for Madrid and Catalonia against the consolidated BOE texts: both stay unchanged from 2025. The Valencian Community is deliberately pending: its parliament is passing a rate cut retroactive to January 2026, and we will publish its scale once the law appears in the DOGV.

We verified the national IRPF and Social Security figures for 2026 against the Agencia Tributaria and Orden PJC/297/2026: almost everything stays the same as 2025 since Spain has no 2026 General State Budget, except the contribution base cap (now 5,101.20 EUR/month) and the MEI rate (now 0.9%); the calculator will keep using 2025 until we also verify the 2026 regional and foral scales.

Corrected the cited source for the grandes almacenes convenio: it pointed to a 2025 act that never states the salary table, when the real 2025 table comes from an earlier act (18 July 2024). The figures don't change, the citation does. All four convenios (contact center, consultoría/TI, grandes almacenes, airport handling) now sit under the same automated drift check the regional scales and the SMI already use.
