Finland taxes residents on worldwide income and doesn't pretend otherwise. State tax runs 12.64% to 37.5%, your municipality adds a flat 4.70%–10.90%, and capital income pays 30–34%. Here's the 2026 picture, plus the US and Canada angles.

Interest, dividends, rental income, and capital gains: 30% up to €30,000 a year, 34% above. This is what your IRA drawdown meets.
