Germany Salary Calculator
Income tax in Germany is progressive, meaning the rate increases with income. For the 2024 tax year, income up to €11,604 is tax-free. The tax rate starts at 14% for income above this threshold, gradually rising to 42% for income exceeding €66,760, and capping at 45% for income above €277,825. Additionally, Germany uses a tax class (Steuerklasse) system, which determines how much tax is deducted from employment income based on factors such as marital status, number of dependents, etc.
