Legislation and data checked on 29 October 2026.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The investment incentives calculator on this page shows what the incentives under the Croatian Investment Promotion Act (Zakon o poticanju ulaganja) are worth for your investment. Corporate income tax on profit from the investment activity is reduced by 50% for an investment of EUR 150,000 with 5 new jobs, by 75% from EUR 1,000,000 with 10 jobs and by 100% above EUR 3,000,000 with 15 jobs, for up to ten years. Micro enterprises can obtain 50% for up to five years from EUR 50,000 and 3 jobs. For each new job, a grant of up to 10% of two-year wage costs is available, at most EUR 5,000, or up to 20% and at most EUR 10,000 in counties with unemployment of 5% to 10%. All aid together is capped at 35% to 75% of eligible costs, depending on the region and the size of the company.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Act applies to companies and sole traders registered in Croatia that pay corporate income tax, so a foreign investor normally invests through a Croatian company, such as a subsidiary. The conditions, the application procedure and the list of excluded activities are explained in our guide Tax incentives for investment in Croatia 2026<\/a>. This article deals with the figures, that is, how the Act and the Regulation translate into amounts for a specific investment. Alongside the calculator we explain the formulas and show aid by county based on Croatian Bureau of Statistics data published on 28 October 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In brief<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • The tax saving equals profit from the investment activity multiplied by the corporate income tax rate (10% or 18%) and the reduction (50%, 75% or 100%).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • With an 18% rate, tax on that profit falls to 9%, 4.5% or 0%, and with a 10% rate to 5%, 2.5% or 0%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Aid per job reaches its maximum at a gross monthly salary of EUR 1,788.27, because the two-year wage cost including the contribution is then EUR 50,000.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • For employees outside the specified groups of registered unemployed people, 80% of the amount is granted, i.e. at most EUR 4,000 per job with unemployment up to 5% and EUR 8,000 with unemployment of 5% to 10%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • In September 2026 five counties had unemployment above 5%, namely Virovitica-Podravina, Osijek-Baranja, Brod-Posavina, Vukovar-Srijem and Sisak-Moslavina. None was above 10%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The ceiling for all aid is calculated in present value, so with high profits the incentive may end before the ten years expire.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
