# Beckham Law Tax Savings Calculator

Spain's **Beckham Law (Ley 35/2006 art. 93)** caps Spanish-source income tax at 24% up to €600K + exempts foreign income for 6 years. Standard IRPF tops at 47% on worldwide income.

For a post-exit tech founder earning €500K Spanish-source + €200K foreign-source, Beckham saves roughly **€140,000/year vs standard IRPF** — that's **€840,000 over 6 years**.
