Calculation notes

This calculator provides a non-binding model calculation for Germany. Tax class, federal state, health insurance and family details help tailor the result.

  • Tax class, factor, allowance and church tax affect ongoing wage-tax withholding. Final income tax is determined in the tax assessment.
  • For statutory insurance, the selected additional contribution applies. Private insurance uses the entered premiums and employer subsidy.
  • The childless surcharge, age exemptions, children under 25 and Saxony’s special care-insurance split are calculated separately. In the year of the 23rd birthday, the payroll month is decisive, so the surcharge remains manually adjustable. Annual values are projections of the selected recurring monthly payroll.
  • When working-student status applies, only pension insurance is deducted through payroll above the minijob limit. Household minijobs use the lower flat contributions and fixed accident insurance.
  • Not all special cases and variable employer levies are included. The values do not replace payroll, tax advice or official information.
