How this calculator works

  • Compute employee social contributions with BBG caps.
  • Estimate zvE ≈ gross − SV − Werbungskosten − Sonderausgaben pauschale.
  • Apply zone income-tax formula; add Soli above Freigrenze; optional church tax.

Net = Brutto − SV − ESt − Soli − Kirchensteuer. Coefficients live in data/tax/de/ and must be verified against the BMF PAP.
