Salaries & taxes: How the German tax system works
One of the most important issues for expats is their salary - and how much of it actually ends up in their bank account. In Germany, there are several tax brackets that influence the amount of deductions. Important points:
-
Gross vs. net: The salary you see in your employment contract is the gross salary - after taxes and social security contributions, there is often significantly less left over.
-
Income tax classes: There are six tax brackets, which mean different deductions depending on marital status and income.
-
Social insurances: Contributions to health, pension, long-term care and unemployment insurance are mandatory and are automatically deducted from your salary.
A good overview of the German tax system will help you to realistically assess your salary. Before you take on your new challenge, KOCH Moving Logistics will make your move to Germany easier - no matter which country you come from.
