Toimitusjohtaja's net salary and taxation in Finland 2026. Calculate your exact net pay in different municipalities.
The CEO (toimitusjohtaja) runs company operations under the board. In Finland, the CEO is not an employee under the Employment Contracts Act but a corporate officer — collective agreements don't apply and compensation is governed by an individual management contract.
The €8,500 monthly median reflects Finnish SME CEOs (50–250 employees). Listed company CEOs earn far more: total compensation for executives at Kone, Neste, and Nokia ranges from €1–5 million annually once equity-based pay is included. Performance bonuses can double base pay in strong years.
