Potvrdenie o príjme

Income statement

What does “Potvrdenie o príjme” mean in Slovakia?

Potvrdenie o príjme is a confirmation of your income. Your employer (or accounting department) usually gives this document to you when you ask for it. It shows how much you earn, for what time period, and in what form.

Where you might need it

  • at a bank — when you apply for a loan or mortgage;
  • when renting a flat — owners often ask for proof of income;
  • for social benefits and aid;
  • for residence permit matters (pobyt) — as proof of financial means.

Sometimes, the institution that needs the confirmation has its own form. A bank or a government office might have its own template that your employer just needs to fill out and sign. So, first, find out exactly what format and time period they need. Then, ask your employer for the document. This way, you will avoid needing corrections and extra waiting. Usually, the accounting department prepares this confirmation within a few days.

Important. Please clarify for which period the certificate is needed (for example, for the last few months) and if it must be on the institution's official letterhead. Different authorities require different things.

Frequently asked questions

Who issues a certificate of income?
For employees — the employer or the accounting office. For entrepreneurs with a živnosť (sole-trader licence), income is confirmed differently, usually through a tax return.
For which period is it made?
It depends on who needs it. Often, they ask for the last few months — check the institution's requirements in advance.
Is this the same as a zápočtový list (employment certificate)?
No. The income statement shows your earnings, and the employment certificate confirms the period of work when you leave your job.
