Individuals
You can view your own data in the Incomes Register
As an individual, you can view your earnings payment data in the Incomes Register’s e-service. You can also view data on pensions and benefits paid to you.
If you want a summary of your income, you can request an Incomes Register extract through the Incomes Register e-service. The extract shows all wages, pensions and benefits reported to the Incomes Register.
If you need a more detailed specification of your income or want to examine an individual report, you can search and view the data on the “Personal income data” page in the e-service.
Earnings payment data is available in the Incomes Register from 2019 and pensions and benefits payment data from 2021.
You can access the Incomes Register on behalf of another individual or company if you have received an authorisation.
Protect your income data and carefully consider to whom you give authorisation to use it
You can always see the wages and benefits paid to you directly in the Incomes Register. You never need any external service for viewing your data.
The Incomes Register recommends that you do not give viewing or access rights to your income data to any external services. Such services typically use special screen scraping software or an online application to collect information from the online service’s view.

The payer reports data to the Incomes Register
The employer or other payer reports data on payments to the Incomes Register. The data is usually available in the Incomes Register within five calendar days after the payment date.
If the data is not available in the Incomes Register, contact your employer or other payer to ensure whether the data has been reported to the Incomes Register.
Households may also act as employers and pay wages.

Data in the Incomes Register is used as grounds for decisions
The authorities use data reported to the Incomes Register as the basis for many types of decisions. The data is used by unemployment funds for calculating allowances and by the Social Insurance Institution of Finland (Kela) when granting allowances paid to employers, for example. The Tax Administration uses data reported to the Incomes Register for pre-completed tax returns and revised tax cards.
