MeinRechner Family

Eight German family-budget and benefits calculators bundled into one app: parental allowance (Elterngeld), maternity protection pay (Mutterschutz), vacation entitlement (Urlaubstage), child support per the Düsseldorfer Tabelle (Unterhalt), sickness benefit (Krankengeld), short-time work (Kurzarbeit), inheritance tax (Erbschaftsteuer), and divorce cost (Scheidungskosten / FamGKG-RVG).

Built for international families navigating German family law:

• US executives relocating to Frankfurt, Munich, or Berlin and trying to model parental-leave income before signing the contract
• UK Brexit returnees and dual-citizen households reactivating Krankenversicherung and Familienkasse claims
• Indian and Asian tech families joining the German innovation hubs (Munich, Stuttgart, Hamburg) and modelling Elterngeld before the parental-leave decision
• EU expats (Spanish, Italian, Polish, Romanian) coordinating Mutterschutz windows around binational pregnancies
• Cross-border divorce and inheritance cases involving German real estate, where ErbStG allowances and FamGKG procedural-cost tables drive the headline numbers
• Separated parents modelling Unterhalt with the Kindergeld offset already factored in

Included free:

• Elterngeld calculator (BEEG basis-tier, Plus tier, partner-bonus orientation)
• Mutterschutz pay calculator (MuSchG protection windows, employer-supplement orientation)
• Krankengeld calculator (SGB V net-cap orientation)
• Kurzarbeit calculator (SGB III KuG percentages)
• Vacation entitlement calculator (Bundesurlaubsgesetz)

Why families pick this app:

• Eight calculators that actually belong together — built around real life events (birth, parental leave, illness, separation, inheritance) instead of one ratio-formula at a time
• Fast inputs, transparent intermediate steps, and clear result screens you can screenshot for a notary or tax advisor
• Saved history and PDF report stay on device — no account, no cloud sync, no data sharing
• Coverage tracked against German 2026 rules and re-verified at every release
