Calculate your German parental benefit in seconds

What it does

Germany pays parents 65–67% of net income during parental leave — but the real rules are complex: exclusion months (Ausklammerungsmonate), a tax class switch worth €2,000+, ElterngeldPlus vs. Basiselterngeld, sibling bonuses, and optimal partner splits. ElterngeldHeld handles all of it: Basis and Plus side by side, tax class impact, optimal partner split. 100% offline, no account, no tracking. Free.

    Multilingual Salary Calculator for Germany2022 · lohntastik.de · ▲12

    Many people from a migrant background have difficulty understanding the German income tax system. Therefore, as a side project, I have created a multilingual gross-net-salary calculator for Germany. With this side project, my main goals are: 1. to create an intuitive method for non-German speakers to easily understand how and what is deducted from their gross salary in Germany, 2. to translate the calculator into Eastern and Central European languages (as they represent one of the largest groups of migrant workers in Germany) to make it easier for them to understand the German income tax…

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
