Help & FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common questions to help you use this calculator confidently.

What is deducted from gross salary in Germany?

Tap to view the answer

German gross salary has income tax, the solidarity surcharge and (for members) church tax withheld, plus social contributions: statutory pension, health insurance, long-term care and unemployment insurance. Together these can reduce gross pay by roughly 35–45%. The net salary calculator itemises each deduction for your situation.

How much is Kindergeld (child benefit) in Germany?

Tap to view the answer

Kindergeld is a flat monthly payment per child, paid regardless of income, with the amount set at the federal level and periodically increased. The child benefit calculator multiplies the current per-child rate by your number of children to show your total monthly entitlement.

Is a Riester pension worth it?

Tap to view the answer

A Riester pension adds government subsidies and tax advantages to your own contributions, which can meaningfully boost long-term growth — especially for families with children who receive additional child bonuses. The Riester pension calculator projects the pot including those subsidies so you can compare it against other retirement savings.
