How take-home pay is calculated in Germany
- Income tax uses the § 32a formula: nothing up to the €12,348 basic allowance, rising from 14% to 42%, and 45% above €277,826.
- Pension (9.3%), unemployment (1.3%), health (7.3% plus half the 2.9% average extra rate) and care insurance (1.8%, or 2.4% without children) are deducted from gross pay.
- Pension, health and care contributions reduce taxable income, along with the €1,230 employee allowance.
- The 5.5% solidarity surcharge only applies when income tax exceeds €20,350 (double for married couples).
