Italian Tax Code Calculator — Codice Fiscale with Barcode

The Codice Fiscale is a 16-character alphanumeric tax identifier issued by the Italian Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate). You need it for any official activity in Italy: signing an employment contract, opening a bank account, renting an apartment, accessing the National Health Service (SSN), buying a car, or registering a SIM card.

The code is built from: 3 letters from surname (consonants first, vowels, then X padding), 3 letters from first name (same rule; if 4+ consonants, take the 1st, 3rd, 4th), 2 digits for birth year, 1 letter for birth month (A=Jan, B=Feb, C=Mar, D=Apr, E=May, H=Jun, L=Jul, M=Aug, P=Sep, R=Oct, S=Nov, T=Dec), 2 digits for birth day (women add +40), 4-character municipality code, 1 check digit.

If you were born outside Italy, use your country's Belfiore code instead of an Italian municipality code. Common codes: Z110 France, Z112 Germany, Z114 UK, Z131 Spain, Z404 USA, Z401 Canada, Z222 India, Z210 China, Z129 Romania. The calculator supports all 150+ countries via autocomplete.

When two people have the same fiscal code, the Revenue Agency creates a variant by replacing digits with letters progressively from the rightmost position (0 to L, 1 to M, 2 to N, 3 to P, 4 to Q, 5 to R, 6 to S, 7 to T, 8 to U, 9 to V). The calculator generates all 7 progressive homocode variants.

The Italian tessera sanitaria (health card) encodes the codice fiscale as a Code 39 barcode (ISO/IEC 16388). This calculator is the only free web tool in Italy that generates the barcode SVG ready for printing, useful for HR departments, professional offices, and document management.

No. The algorithm is deterministic and correct (D.M. 12/03/1974), but the official fiscal code is the one registered by Agenzia delle Entrate. To verify an existing codice fiscale, use their official service at telematici.agenziaentrate.gov.it. The calculator is useful for self-generation and understanding the algorithm.

Yes. Any employment contract in Italy requires a Codice Fiscale for both employer and employee. Foreign workers in Italian bars and restaurants (common in tourism and seasonal work) must obtain their codice fiscale from the nearest Italian consulate abroad or from Agenzia delle Entrate in Italy before signing a CCNL Pubblici Esercizi contract.

Batch CSV lets you calculate or verify hundreds of codici fiscali at once by uploading a CSV file with surname, name, birth date, sex and municipality. Ideal for accountants, HR departments and payroll services managing multiple employees.
