Pay and payroll deductions
Gross versus net pay in Germany explains wage tax, the solidarity surcharge, church tax, pension insurance, unemployment insurance, health insurance and long-term care insurance.
Annual household tax relief
Tradespeople’s services and § 35a EStG explains which invoice items can count, why cashless payment matters, and why the tax reduction is annual rather than a monthly salary addition.
How the calculations are built
About and methodology describes browser-side JavaScript calculations, official reference material, scope limits and the difference between monthly payroll and annual tax assessments.
Calculators
All seven calculators have English interfaces in this review build. Their German tax calculation engines are unchanged. They cover gross–net pay, § 35a invoice splitting, tax-class comparisons, part-time salaries, Minijob/Midijob, payslip explanations and severance tax scenarios.
