IMPORTANT — ESTIMATION TOOL, NOT BINDING: This is an estimation tool. It is NOT a Lohnabrechnung (payroll statement) and NOT a Sozialversicherungsbescheid. In particular, the Midijob calculation (Gleitzonenformel under § 20 Abs. 2 SGB IV) currently uses a simplified approximation — always verify binding values against the employer's official Lohnabrechnung. Caveats: Pauschsteuer 2% applies only without Lohnsteuerkarte; foreign-residency and DBA (double tax treaty) cases are not modelled; Faktorverfahren and Progressionsvorbehalt are not computed.

SOURCES: Values follow guidance published by the Minijob-Zentrale (Knappschaft-Bahn-See), BMAS, BMF, BA, DRV, GKV, the Mindestlohn-Kommission, plus § 8 SGB IV, § 20 SGB IV, § 168 SGB VI, § 76b SGB VI, ArbZG, MiLoG, and Reg (EC) 883/2004.

INDEPENDENCE: Independent informational tool. Not affiliated with BMAS, BMF, BA, DRV, GKV, or any German government body. Does not constitute legal or tax advice — consult a German Steuerberater, Lohnbuchhalter, or Rechtsanwalt qualified for your case.
