How much can you save?

Your salary, your region: Beckham's flat 24% vs ordinary Spanish income tax. No email needed to see your number.

◷ Calculator under review
Your saving, worked out with you

We have taken this calculator offline while we review how it estimates ordinary Spanish income tax. We would rather show you no number than a wrong one.

The rule itself does not change: under the Beckham regime, Spanish employment income is taxed at a flat 24% up to €600,000 (47% above), with no personal allowances or earned-income reduction. Ordinary residents pay a progressive scale but keep those allowances, so whether Beckham saves you money depends on your salary, your region and your situation.

Do you qualify? A few quick questions.

We start with the one thing that can't wait: your 6-month deadline, which starts the day you register with Social Security, not the day you arrive.

Before we start · Where you are
Are you already in Spain, or planning your move?
I'm already in Spain & registered
I'm planning my move

Your 6-month deadline only starts once you register with Social Security, so timing is everything.

◷ Free tool 3 · Your 6-month window
Form 149 must be filed within 6 months of the start-of-activity date shown in your Spanish Social Security registration (or, if you keep your home-country social security, the start date in that documentation). Your arrival or your visa does not start it, and the deadline cannot be extended. Family members joining you have their own window, which can run from their own arrival in Spain. We confirm each exact date in writing.

What others won't tell you

The honest truth
about your Spanish home.

There is a live, unresolved dispute about whether Beckham taxpayers must pay a small “imputed income” tax on the home they live in. Almost nobody explains it to expats. We do.

  • Tax office & tribunal (TEAC)Say you must pay it. Binding on the administration since July 2025.
  • Madrid High CourtSays you don't, and has ordered refunds to taxpayers (2024-2025).
  • Supreme Court & EuropeThe Supreme Court has not ruled; the European Commission is challenging Spain.

Our stance: by default we take the safe route and, if you want, a bar-admitted lawyer (ICALI nº 4643) can appeal. Orientative information, not tax advice; your case is decided and signed by the firm.

Every filing is signed by a bar-admitted lawyer (ICALI nº 4643). The standard application is self-serve: you pay up front, and before we file anything we assess whether you qualify under Article 93 LIRPF — if you don’t, we don’t file and we refund your fee less the eligibility study fee, which the payment screen shows you before you pay. The complex application (director) is paid the same way, and a separate engagement letter is signed before any work starts. Full detail in our terms. New applications are closed until further notice.

Questions

Good questions, clear answers.

When does the 6-month deadline start?

From your Social Security registration date in Spain (or the start of activity). Form 149 must be filed within 6 months. It can't be extended and there's no fix-it period afterwards.

What if I work remotely for a foreign company?

That's the classic digital-nomad route, typically via the DNV. It's one of the cleanest paths into the regime, and your checker result will flag it.

Is my income from outside Spain taxed?

As a rule, foreign passive income (dividends, rent, interest) is not taxed in Spain under the regime. Some items behave differently: foreign stock options, for instance, are taxed as employment income. Your tax advisor reviews your specific case.

Can I include my family?

Yes. Your spouse and children under 25 can join the same regime, provided their income is below the main applicant's and they move within the allowed window.

Is it worth it if I earn under €60,000?

Not always. At lower salaries the ordinary IRPF (with its allowances and deductions) can work out better. Where the line falls depends on your region and situation; your advisor works it out with you.

How is this different from a cheap gestoría?

A bar-admitted lawyer signs your filing and assumes responsibility, you're covered by professional liability insurance and lawyer–client privilege, and if the tax office refuses, we can take it to appeal, something only a lawyer can do.

I'm self-employed (autónomo). Can I still qualify?

The classic autónomo (self-employed activity in Spain) is generally outside the regime. But many owners get in another way: by moving as the director of a company, or with an innovative venture backed by an ENISA report. Our checker points you to the right route, and a lawyer confirms it.

Do I need the digital nomad visa (DNV)?

Not necessarily. The DNV is one route, but recent binding tax doctrine (DGT, December 2025) confirms it isn't mandatory: working remotely for a foreign employer can qualify on its own. EU nationals need no migration permit; non-EU nationals need a valid residence status, and the DNV is one way to hold it.

I'm a US citizen. Will Beckham actually save me money?

It depends, and we'll tell you straight. As a US citizen you keep filing with the IRS wherever you live. Because the flat 24% is low, it can leave US tax still to pay, so Beckham is a clear win mainly at high salaries with little passive income. We model your combined US and Spain position before you commit.

Do I pay Spanish tax on the home I live in?

This is genuinely unsettled. The tax office and its tribunal (TEAC) say Beckham taxpayers must pay a small “imputed income” on their home; the Madrid High Court says they shouldn't and has ordered refunds; the Supreme Court hasn't ruled and the European Commission is challenging Spain. By default we take the safe route, and if you prefer, a lawyer can appeal. We keep you posted as it evolves.
