MeinRechner Arbeit

15 German salary, employment-law and family-benefit calculators in one local-first app — 2026 parameters and official BMAS, BMF and DRV sources behind every module.

MeinRechner Arbeit 2026 bundles 15 German salary, employment-law and family-benefit calculators into one local-first app aligned with German 2026 wage and tax rules.

Calculate gross-to-net pay, minijob (538 EUR), midijob in the Übergangsbereich, minimum wage (Mindestlohn), overtime, Werkstudent pay, holiday entitlement, sick pay (Krankengeld), short-time work allowance (Kurzarbeitergeld), maternity (Mutterschaftsgeld), parental allowance (Elterngeld), severance with the Fünftelregelung, child maintenance under the Düsseldorfer Tabelle, inheritance tax and divorce costs - each result with 2026 reference parameters and visible source notes.

Who it is for:

• UK workers in Germany post-Brexit (Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart, Frankfurt tech hubs) who want to verify the composition of a German payslip, understand Lohnsteuerklassen, the Solidaritätszuschlag and Sozialversicherung deductions before signing a German employment contract.
• UK businesses with German subsidiaries running monthly payroll, modelling Minijob 538 EUR thresholds, Midijob Übergangsbereich and Mindestlohn compliance for German staff.
• UK academics on DAAD-funded postdocs and visiting fellowships at Max Planck, TU Berlin, LMU München, RWTH Aachen who need to understand Lohnsteuerklasse and Werkstudent rules.
