About this estimate (2026 rules, checked 15 October 2026)

Assumptions

  • Tax class I: single, no children
  • Aged 23 or over and childless, so the 0.6% long-term care surcharge applies
  • No church tax
  • Statutory health insurance with the average additional contribution (2.9%)
  • Employed the whole year with the same monthly pay and no other income
  • Only the automatic allowances: employee lump sum (€1,230), special expenses lump sum (€36) and the Vorsorgepauschale
  • Income tax is the wage tax the employer withholds; a tax return with higher expenses can lower it
  • Works in any state other than Saxony

Notes

  • Employer cost leaves out the U1 and U2 sickness and maternity levies and accident insurance, whose rates depend on the employer's insurer and industry.
  • Health and long-term care contributions stop at €69,750 of yearly pay.
  • Above €77,400 a year (and expected to stay above it next year) you may choose private health insurance instead; this estimate assumes statutory insurance.
