Calculator for Employers.
Cost Summary
Detailed monthly cost estimation for Germany.
Estimation Only
Results are estimates for general guidance. Actual costs vary by employment setup, health insurance provider, and specific payroll rules.
Regular Employees
Employer costs include social security contributions up to statutory ceilings. Above these thresholds, contributions generally do not increase proportionally.
Working Students
Employer costs are usually lower, as health, long-term care and unemployment insurance contributions often do not apply, while pension insurance remains mandatory.
Mini-job Employees
For mini-jobs, employers cover full employer-side lump-sum charges and levies, creating a cost structure that differs significantly from regular full-time employment.
Calculator for Employees
and Employers by TK

Detailed net salary calculation
For a legally accurate gross-to-net calculation including income tax, solidarity surcharge, church tax and all statutory social security contributions, please use the official TK salary calculator.
Our own tools are designed to give you a clear overview of employer costs and typical employee deductions. For binding payroll figures, TK’s calculator reflects the current German legislation and contribution ceilings.
The TK calculator opens in a new tab and is provided by Techniker Krankenkasse (TK). Results are based on their official payroll rules and may differ from simplified estimates.
