Social security is separate from income tax — but it directly affects your take-home pay and long-term benefits when you’re on the Beckham Law. This video breaks down the mandatory contributions for employees, how they differ from the normal regime, and the small but important tax implications.

You’ll learn why employee contributions are generally non-deductible under the special regime, what the real cost is, and practical tips to review your payslip correctly. It also covers the option to use an A1 form to avoid double payments if you’re posted from the EU.

Whether you’re negotiating a contract or already employed in Spain, this knowledge helps you calculate your true net salary and plan better. It’s essential viewing for any salaried professional under the Beckham Law.
