Your net income
Quickly calculated with the salary calculator
Your performance.
Your income.
We all want to know how much we can expect to earn at our jobs.
But what’s the difference between a salary and a wage? And how much net income ends up in your account at the end of the month?
Our salary calculator has the answer.
Difference between wage and salary
The salary is paid monthly in the same amount, regardless of the number of working days in the month and the actual work performed. The salary may depend on the work performed, for example on the work performed in the case of piecework. This can result in the wages paid out changing each month.
Difference between gross and net income
Gross income is the wage/salary entitlement without statutory deductions (social security contributions, solidarity surcharge, wage tax, church tax). Net income is the amount actually paid out after these deductions.

Various taxes and social security contributions are deducted from your gross salary. These may include, among other things, income tax, church tax, and contributions to health, pension, long-term care, and unemployment insurance.
